Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 75 - Lorelei



It's about to be Dusk and Julian's pokemons are back, they are having their food and waiting for dusk so they can get out of this mystical forest, his pokemons told him about their experience in this forest, he was also surprised to learn about Electivire's family.

He also found out that Gengar sneaked into the Grass area King's home which was a Torterra and stole all his berries and gave it to Venusaur while he was exploring the Grass area, when Torterra found Venusaur with all his berries he attacked Venusaur and hence leading a battle between Venusaur and Torterra, Venusaur came out on top in that battle whereas Gengar was watching them battle while eating the stolen berries as though he was watching some show. ​​

After that Gengar was chased down by Venusaur all over the forest to punish him for his actions but Gengar was too sneaky for Venusaur, when Julian heard this he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Gengar's mischievousness.

Soon the sky became orange from the setting sun and all his pokemons where teleported back to Viridian forest near their campsite, he looked up the sky and found that the sun is rising so went back to the came and found out they spent a whole day inside the mythical forest.

Julian 'That forest is really weird, time flow inside there so really confusing'

Julian decided to hurry up and head towards victory road for his next battle.

Next day when he arrived there he saw that the banners near the street already had his match promoted on, it had pictures of him and Lorelei with few of their pokemons on it, the banner was designed flashy and few people were looking at it with anticipation.

Julian didn't think much about it and went directly towards Kanto's League Competition Committee headquarters when he reached there the receptionist told him that they have already reserved a room for him to stay in a hotel next to the Indigo Stadium, he received the key card and went towards the Indigo Stadium, he arrived at the hotel specified in the key card and found his room to take a rest, after resting for a while he decided to take a walk.

Julian arrived near the stadium so he decided to go inside and take a look inside, he walked up the stairs and took a seat and looked at the battlefield, he noticed that the mechanism in the battlefield was changed.

Julian 'Looks like its going to be an Ice-type battlefield'

As he was wondering who is he gonna send to battle the elite four he heard footsteps from the other side of the stadium, his 5-senses where more sensitive than some pokemons so he easily noticed those footsteps coming from another side of the stadium, he looked up to see a woman entering, she had violet hair, wore glasses, a red top under a blue jacket and a black pencil skirt.

Seeing this woman Julian recognized her, she was Lorelei a member of the elite four and also his next opponent, Lorelei also noticed Julian and looked at him seriously, she knew Julian was no pushover, they looked at each other for a long as if it was a staring contest, Julian finally closed his eyes and laid back ignoring her.

Lorelei felt satisfied seeing Julian back down, she thought that she got the upper hand in their first interaction, what she didn't know that Julian felt bored looking at her for a long time so he closed his eyes.

Lorelei left the stadium after checking the battlefield leaving Julian alone.

Julian goes back to his room and looks at Lorelei's data and a few of her exhibition matches.

Julian 'Looks like she only has five pokemons with her, from all the exhibitions matches I have watched, she used these five pokemons only, Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro, Jynx, and Lapras. All of them being Ice-type except Slowbro, a team mostly made of ice types, a trainer who is an experienced electric type trainer can easily bring down her team, she should really consider adding a ground or rock type pokemon in her team, I just hope that she can put on a fight against Electivire'

Julian was about to switch off his computer when he received a call from Professor Oak.

Julian "Professor?"

Oak "Julian I will be there to cheer you on for your match"

Julian "You don't have to, you should be busy with all that work for our company"

Oak "Don't worry about it, all the preparation have been done, we are only waiting for the machines to be delivered and the workplace to be renovated after that production will start"

Julian "I see, I didn't expect things to go this smoothly"

Oak "Well Jimi worked his magic, he has many connections so it was possible"

Julian "That's great"

Oak "And also Daisy also sent her regards to you, she said that you have to win against the elite four"

Julian "Daisy? Tell her that I will win for sure"

Oak "Ok then, I will be there before your match"

Julian decided to end the day and went to sleep, for the next few days he just made his pokemon do some light training, he didn't want his pokemons to overdo themselves before their battle.
