Once he reached the harbor he went towards the office to notice a long line before him, many of them are also planning to leave Sootopolis city.Julian "My, it a long line, looks like I have to wait for a while"
After standing in line for a while he finally came in front of the office and found out that the next ship is tomorrow morning.
He sighed, he could ride Pidgeot to LaRousse but it"s going to be a very long journey and Pidgeot cannot handle it even though he is quite powerful.
He also has his car in Sootopolis city and he cannot leave it just here with no one to hold it for him.
He decided to board the ship tomorrow and booked the ticket.
____________________
Next day Julian got up from his bed and looked around, he forgot that Daisy is not here, he felt weird being alone as Daisy was always by his side.
He quickly got ready and left in his car, after reaching the harbor he quickly boarded the ship that is headed to LaRousse city.
After boarding, he sighed, he looked at the direction of LaRousse city.
Julian "My life is not going to be peaceful at all, its all up to destiny"
He had already realized that his being in this world had made him one of its main characters and he cannot escape this, luckily he was only involved in big events and didn"t get annoyed daily by some idiots.
As he was looking around the ship he noticed Ash and his friends also boarding the ship.
Julian "Hmm are they also going to LaRousse city?"
Julian sighed once again, Ash being in LaRousse meant that his theory about trouble going to befall in LaRousse city is confirmed.
Julian "What a day, it had been, I think I will rest the whole day"
Julian went into his personal room and rested the whole day, clearing his mind from useless thoughts and calmed his mind, he slept the whole day, only to realized it when he woke up the next day.
He noticed that the ship has already left Sootopolis city and is headed towards LaRousse city.
He walked outside and saw the sunlight reflect from the surface of the sea"s surface, the warm sunlight hit his face and he felt refreshed, that long sleep had re-energized him properly.
He decided to stroll around the ship and he walked out.
As he moved around he finally came across a battlefield where a crowd had already gathered watching a pokemon battle between two trainers.
Julian suddenly saw a lightning flash and a Machamp was sent flying and crashed in the floor.
Julian "I remember that lightning"
Julian smiled and walked towards the battlefield.
As he walked past the crowd he saw Ash and his Pikachu on the battlefield as they battle Machamp.
Trainer "Machamp get up quick"
The Machamp trainer shouted for Machamp to quickly get up but it was already too late.
Ash "Pikachu let"s finish this Volt Tackle"
Pikachu charged towards Machamp as his body first got covered with white energy then covered with lightning, Pikachu used Volt Tackle with full power and crashed onto Machamp.
The attack caused a big backlash and the waves reached every corner of the battlefield causing everything to fly away.
Machamp was sent crashing and it got knocked out, Pikachu landed on his feet as a light spark goes through his body.
It"s obviously the backlash of using Volt Tackle but Pikachu shook it off aside as if it was nothing.
Julian was impressed by the power behind that attack.
Julian "They really have come a long way"
Julian thought.
As he was about to leave Max noticed him and ran towards him.
Max "Mr. Julian are you also heading towards LaRousse city?"
Julian "Yes"
Max "Cool we are also heading towards LaRousse city, I heard that its the most advanced city in Hoenn, it has tall infrastructures that are run by high technology, is it true?"
Julian looked at Max and was annoyed but he didn"t show it in his face.
Julian "Kid even though I was a champion, that doesn"t mean I know everything, ask someone else"
Julian "I don"t know Max, you should know I am not from Hoenn"
May "Max what are you doing?"
May came for the rescue and dragged away Max by holding his ear.
May "Sorry Mr. Julian, for Max annoyance"
Julian didn"t say anything.
Ash headed towards Julian happily with Pikachu.
Ash "Julian did you see us battling?"
Julian "Hmm, you have improved a lot from last time, you too Pikachu"
Julian nodded.
Julian "I hope not only Pikachu but all your other pokemons have also grown strong"
Ash "Yes, everyone is training hard, this time I will definitely win the league"
Julian smiled
Julian "Ok then, I will be going, let"s meet afterward"
Julian walked away leaving behind Ash and his friends.
Brock "Ash, are you sure you can win the league this time?"
Ash "Of course I am"
Brock "Did you forget Julian is also partic.i.p.ating"
Ash "Ah? huh, what? Oh how could I forget"
Ash went on his knees as tears ran down his eyes, everyone around him laughed. He soon got back to his feet with a beaming smile.
Ash "It doesn"t matter, I will be satisfied if I get my battle with Julian that I have been waiting for so long"
Ash was burning with pa.s.sion, this is the reason why he is one of the main characters of this world, he never wavers from his path to reach the goal he has set for himself.
Ash "Pikachu, we have to train harder if we want to put up a good fight against Julian"
Pikachu "Pikka"
Pikachu also said it with determination, he remembered how Julian"s Electivire controlled the lightning and he also wants to achieve this kind of feet someday.
Both Ash and Pikachu got fired up and started to run around the ship to begin their training the next second.
Brock, May, and Max shook their head and followed him.
