Journey Towards Greatness

The cab soon arrived outside the five-star hotel, the cab driver didn"t know why a rich person who could afford t stay in a five-star hotel need a cab.

Soon he saw his pa.s.sengers arriving, when he saw who it was he almost fainted from excitement, Julian, Chloe, and Daisy sat in the cab.

Julian "We can go now"

Julian said to the cab driver.

Cab Driver "Yes sir"

He hit the accelerator and drove towards victory road.

Soon they entered the victory road and as Julian expected, it was decorated to the extreme, the whole victory road was covered with red carpet and stalls were everywhere, merchants were having a huge profit due to the league, they have not even entered near the vicinity of the Ever Grande Conference.

Chloe "I expected it to be big but not this big"

Daisy "Yes, look how grand it looked, last year"s league was nothing compared to this"

Julian "I want to know who and all are taking part, maybe I might encounter some decent trainers"

Daisy "Ash might give you a good battle, I know him since he was a baby, he might have improved a lot from last time"

Julian "Only time will tell"

As the pa.s.sed the Victory road they arrived outside the vicinity of Ever Grande Conference, outside this conference, many roads lead to many small villages where all the trainers will be allowed to stay during the league.

Julian "You can leave, we will enter the conference by our own"

Julian said to the driver, he got out of the cab followed by Daisy and Chloe.

Cab Driver "Sir, all the best"

Julian "Well, thank you"

The Conference is held in the middle of this big lake, right in the center lies the main stadium where the knockout rounds will take place between the final 32 trainers, the main stadium is connected to an outer circle which holds five mini stadiums where the selection round will take place between 256 trainers who have pa.s.sed the preliminaries.

Then these five small stadiums are connected to an even bigger outer circle where all the main attraction of the league is being helped, brands sponsored by the league are able to sell their products here, the shops and stores that are here have paid extra money to set up their stalls here, whether it is small or big, verities of products can be found during the league days, advance electronic items, rare elemental and evolution stones, and even Mega Stones. Delicious food that has been originated from regions outside of Hoenn and many more.

Along with these brand stores, there is also the registration office located in this circle, where the trainers are heading towards to register themselves for the league.

And this final outer circle is connected to five different small villages where the preliminaries will be held, every trainer is allowed to use only one pokemon during the preliminaries.

Julian, Chloe, and Daisy are now heading towards the registration office where he will register himself for the league.

As he walked towards the registration office many people and trainers noticed him and gasped, they couldn"t believe a champion is walking amongst them, no one tried to approach him because they are too nervous.

Soon he arrived in front of the registration office and when he went in he saw Ash and his friends already present there.

Ash saw Julian, Daisy, and Chloe and called him out.

Ash "Julian over here"

Hearing Ash shouts everyone turned around and saw that Julian has entered the registration office, people who saw him were shocked but excited at the same time.

Ash rushed towards Julian.

Ash "I saw your battle on the internet, your Tyranitar looks so strong, I can"t believe its the same Larvitar I saw before"

Julian "Hmm, So how are you and Pikachu doing?"

Ash "We have become super strong together, aren"t we Pikachu?"

Pikachu "Pikkkkachu"

Julian "I see, I hope we don"t meet before the finals"

Ash "Don"t worry I will defeat everybody and finally have the battle you owe me"

Julian "Haha, we will see about that"

Daisy "Ash, long time no see, last time I saw you, you were just 7 years old"

Daisy stepped in and pulled Ash"s cheeks.

Ash "Aaahhhhh, Daisy it hurts stop it"

Daisy "Come on, when you were little you used to come running towards me when you and Gary had a fight, now you are trying to distance yourself from me?"

Ash "No, I meant it hurts if you pull my cheeks like that"

Daisy "Oh, but you didn"t complain about it when you were little"

Julian "Ok, Daisy stop or you will embarra.s.s him in front of his friends"

Daisy "Ok"

Suddenly Brock storms towards Daisy and Chloe and grabs their hands.

Brock "How are you, my ladies? My name is Brock and I am your biggest fan"

Before Brock could even get an answer he was punched by Julian and sent him shooting through the roof and into the sky.

Julian "n.o.body touches them when I am around"

Julian said and blow away the smoke in his hand, he didn"t kill Brock, he just sent him flying that"s all.

Ash, May, and Max laughed awkwardly seeing Brock handled so easily by Julian.

Max "Well he deserved that"

May "Ya, he did"

Julian "So have you registered already?"

Ash "Yes, I have, my first opponent seems to be someone called Gilbert"

Julian "I see, then, best of luck"

Julian said and went to the empty counter where a lady is waiting eagerly for his arrival, seeing Julian walked towards her, she quickly adjusted her hair and dress before standing straight and looked at him with a smile.

Julian "Here this should do right?"

Julian pa.s.sed the eight badges and his ID to her.

Receptionist Lady "Yes Sir"

She quickly registered him in the league and his first opponent was soon generated by a computer.

Someone named Travis.

He looked like a man in his 20s.

Julian "Travis huh?"

Receptionist Lady "Sir, your room is in Village number one and this battle will take place there itself"

Julian "Ok, thank you"

Julian took back his badges and ID and went back to Chloe and Daisy.
