Journey Towards Greatness

Julian and Kabutops head towards the source of the cry as they reach there they see a huge place covered with ice everywhere there are ice spikes on the roof and Ice boulders and pillars on the floor, the temperature is freezing and right in the middle of this huge place is a big blue color bird pokemon flapping its wings and looking at Julian and Kabutops

Julian 'Looks like its very angry because we came here uninvited well it won't matter as we came here to battle it after all' ​​

Articuno suddenly used Ice shards sending it shooting towards Julian and Kabutops

Julian "Kabutops use Harden"

Julian jumped away escaping the Ice shards shooting at him and the Ice shards aimed at Kabutops all shattered after hitting him and dealing no damage, Articuno never giving a chance followed up by Gust

Julian "Kabutops stay your ground"

Kabutops planted himself on the ice floor by shoving his sharp toes inside the ice and took the Gust head on as it is a flying type move it was not effective at all.

Julian "Kabutops use Scratch"

Kabutops suddenly sprinted forward exposing his claws and used an Ice boulder as a jumping platform and launched himself towards Articuno.

Articuno easily dodged it but the attack was not over Kabutops landed on a wall using his legs and launched himself again at Articuno but Articuno dodged it again with an inch to spare

Julian 'This Articuno is really fast but not for long'

Julian "Kabutops use Ice Beam"

Kabuto sent an Ice Beam which Articuno counter using its own Ice Beam as the moves clashed Articuno's attack took the edge and pushed back Kabutops's Ice Beam

Julian "Kabutops move away from there"

Kabutops abandoned his attack and jumped away from his position as Articuno's Ice Beam came and hit the place causing an Ice block to form in that place

Julian 'Its ice type moves are also strong but they are nothing to worry about'

Articuno suddenly used Mist making the place cloudy and effecting Kabutops and Julian's vision

Julian "Kabutops stay your ground and use Harden, be calm and don't panic"

Kabutops hearing Julian calm down and use Harden and got ready for any attacks coming at him, as Kabutops stood still Articuno suddenly attacked with a Sky Attack and hit Kabutops directly but it didn't do much damage again and only sent him back but the Sky Attacks didn't stop and it continued to attack over and over again, Kabutops kept his ground as he was waiting for Julian's command, Julian on the other hand was carefully watching as the mist slowly started to disappear due to Articuno flying very fast and attacking Kabutops rapidly.

Julian "Hang in there for a little even though you have to take some hit it won't affect you because of your harden and typing advantage"

Kabutops knew that Julian was waiting for the perfect timing to launch an attack so he stayed there taking the Sky Attacks which were becoming weaker move by move as Articuno was getting tired by using it.

As the Mist was a little clear Julian could see Articuno launching another attack at Kabutops as the move landed and it was about to fly away again Julian took his chance

Julian "Now Kabutops use Metal Claw"

Articuno who had just attacked and had already shown it back to Kabutops didn't expect to be attacked now and it got attacked by a two Metal Claws simultaneously as sent it crashing on the ground as Mental Claw being a steel type move it was effective against Articuno and cause it to be injured but Articuno just shook it off as it was nothing

Julian 'Even though it was hurt by the last move its defense is very high which allowed it not be severely affected by it, let's see how you will escape this one'

Julian "Kabutops use Rock Throw"

Kabutops formed multiple small rocks and sent it towards Articuno but Articuno just dodged it easily by using its speed and used Ice Beam on Kabutops legs and froze him on the spot and launched itself towards Kabutops using Headbutt.

Julian "Kabutops use your claws to break the Ice and jump away"

Kabutops used his claws and broke the ice covering his feet and jumped but he was a little late and was hit by the Headbutt on the side and sent him spinning and crashing on an Ice boulder

Julian "Kabutops are you ok"

Kabutops stood up and shook off the ice on him and was continue to battle again

Julian 'Kabutops defense is on another level with his ability Battle armor and skill Harden'

Julian "Great let's continue, use Aqua Jet"

Kabutops surrounded himself with water and launched himself superfast towards Articuno, Articuno also flew up and launched itself towards Kabutops using Arial Ace as Arial Ace and Aqua Jet clashes they both are sent back flying due to the enormous amount of energy colliding, Julian didn't want to waste any time and quickly followed up with another attack

Julian "Kabutops use Aqua Jet again"

Kabutops does a summersault and lands and then again launch himself towards Articuno using Aqua Jets but this time with more speed and power, Articuno also didn't give up and straighten itself in the air and launched an Arial Ace twice as fast as before, Julian hand anticipated this before and suddenly gave a command

Julian "Kabutops now use Ice Beam to freeze the Water Jet"

Kabutops didn't doubt anything and just used Ice Beam and suddenly the Water Jet froze and turned it into an Ice Jet which came crashing onto Articuno, even if Articuno is an Ice-type being hit by a fast, sharp and heavy Ice will cause a lot of damage, as they clashed with each other the winner of the exchange was, of course, Kabutops and sent Articuno flying back and hit an Ice Pillar.

Julian "Great Kabutops"

Kabutops landed on the Ice floor and looked at his opponent and mocked it to attack again, seeing that Kabutops was mocking it Articuno got angry and suddenly started to collect energy in front of it to launch a Hyper Beam.

Julian 'This is perfect'

Julian "Kabutops activate Weak Armor"

Kabutops activated his Weak armor causing his defense to become low but increased his speed.

Articuno launched the Hyper Beam at Kabutops with full power

Julian "Kabutops dodge and use Metal claw"

Kabutops speed being increased by a huge margin easily dodging the Hyper Beam and sprinted towards Articuno with glowing claws creating after image behind him, Articuno didn't even notice what happened as it was struck by two Metal Claw simultaneously sending it flying, this time it was hurt but Julian didn't stop there

Julian "Kabutops use Stone Edge"

As Articuno was still in the air falling down after that previous attack Kabutops used Stone Edge then huge Stones came from under the ground and drove it up against the falling Articuno sending it flying upwards again but this was the end as Articuno fell down it had been very badly injured and didn't have any strength to get up.

Julian 'Looks like it's over another victory'

Julian "Kabutops you were awesome today"

Kabutops is happy being praised, Julian sends him back into his Pokeball as he walks towards Articuno and sprinkles a little Sacred Power which he obtained on Naval Rock on it bringing it back to full strength

Articuno gets up and looks at Julian confused why he healed it

Julian "Since I barged into your home and hurt you I should take responsibility"

Julian says this and walks away while Articuno looks at his back then goes back to rest, after exiting from the Ice cave he calls out Gyarados and goes back to the Beach.
