Journey Towards Greatness

Julian's interest was piqued by this Pokemon Showcase and wanted to know more about it, from what he had heard from Daisy it's a mix between a pokemon battle and a pokemon contest, a competition where trainers and pokemons are both the center of the attention, unlike pokemon contest which is mainly focused on pokemons themselves.

With this in mind, Julian decided to stay for a while and check out the pokemon showcase, he wasn't in a hurry to leave at all, the Kalos league is still months away from happening, Julian can enjoy his time in Kalos and check out its beautiful scenery and events like this pokemon showcase.

He quickly found himself in a nice hotel and booked himself the best room to stay in this cold atmosphere, he rested in front of the fireplace and took out his laptop to look at the Pokemon Showcase.

From what he got from Daisy, he couldn't really understand it properly and after that, he never cared about it as he had no interest in it, but now since one of the events is happening in this town he wants to learn more.

He looked into the Pokemon Showcase and found many interesting articles about it, winners of the rookie complications from the previous month, winner of the championship from the previous year, very famous people who participate in these Pokemon showcases, all types of articles are displayed on his laptop.

Before checking out any of those, he decided to see what this Pokemon Showcase really is to its core, he clicked the very first link which brought him to the wiki page of the Showcase in which he learned about the event itself.

He learned that the Showcase is a tournament that is divided into two classes, both of them being the Rookie Class and Master Class, while Rookie Class can be participated by any trainer, Master Class is different, to participate in the master class, a trainer must have three Princess Key with them.

He then looked deeper into it and found out that rookie class event is divided into two parts, the first one being the Theme Performance in which pokemons and trainer perform in front of a crowd depending on the theme of the event, the theme can be anything, in this round three trainers will be facing off each other and only one can move forward.

The second one being Freestyle Performance in which trainers will take the stage along with their pokemon and perform, this round is more like a pokemon contest but it is not mainly focused on pokemon alone but what they do on stage.

As Julian read more he understood that the first round is judged by the judges while the second round and the winner of the tournament will be decided by the audience members through voting.

Julian was intrigued by the idea of people deciding the winner since it was a fair way to judge but was used very little.

But Julian then realized that there seems to be no battling involved in this rookie class which got him confused, he heard from Daisy that there are pokemon battles but he didn't see any kind of pokemon battle being mentioned.

He looked at the Master Class and found no pokemon battle mentioned at all, he was a little disappointed but he still decided to check it out and see the craze behind this Pokemon Showcase.

Pokemon Showcase seems to have a massive following and the winner of the finals seems to be very famous as well, her fame was not less than Chloe who is an international actor by now.

The winner of the finals is given the title of the Kalos Queen and she will have to defend her title every year in the finals, every trainer who wants to enter this Showcase has one single goal and that seems to be crowned the Kalos Queen.

With this time came fame and money, multiple movies and TV contracts, sponsorships, and many more, no wonder the female trainers taking part in this Showcase are thrilled about it.

He put away his laptop after learning what he wanted to learn and waited for the big day, it was not only him but everyone in the town seems to be waiting for the Showcase event.

Julian spent his time in Dendemille town enjoying the scenery and eating the delicious hot food that is exclusive to this town, Julian fell in love with them.

The waiting soon came to an end as the day of the Showcase arrived, Julian had already booked a VIP room for himself so he can watch the performance in peace and not be bothered by his fans, Julian knows how big of a deal his fans can make in his presence.

They might turn the whole event upside down for even a glimpse at him and he didn't want that to happen.

He made his way to the stadium where the Showcase will be held, when he got there the place was already jam-packed, the whole stadium was decorated and the video of the current Kalos Queen was being played on the big screen outside the stadium, Julian looked at the pinked hair girl and smiled.

In his eyes, she seems to have great chemistry with her pokemon but he is just seeing all these through a screen, to truly know what she is really like, he wanted to see this girl perform in person.
