Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 567 - The Semi-Finals (2)



The crowd is still going crazy over Julian's win, that last attack collision between those attacks was really powerful, the audience really felt the power behind it even though they were behind the protection of the barrier of the stadium.

Julian walked towards Brian and extended his hand for a handshake. ​​

Julian "You are good but still not good enough to challenge a member of the elite four or a champion, continue doing what you are doing and you might reach there in a year"

Julian smiled and walked away with Victini right behind him.

The news about Julian reaching the finals was something everyone expected but it was still huge, the whole world knew about it and they are eagerly waiting for the second match of the semi-finals to be held so they can tell who is going to face Julian for the title of the Sinnoh League's Champion.

Julian went back to his room where he found Cynthia waiting for him again, he smiled and joined her for lunch.

Julian "So who do you think will be standing opposite to me in the finals?"

Julian asked.

He is curious to see what his champion girlfriend is thinking.

Cynthia "The obvious answer should be Tobias as he seems to have a very strong Darkrai and his other pokemon have not been seen by anyone either, well all his opponents were average at best but we should also not forget that he cleared all the gyms with just his Darkrai as well, to take down Volkner with just his Darkrai is a big deal.

But on the other hand, there is also Ash, I have been watching him and I cannot figure him out at all, the only thing I can see is that he loves battling, we have seen his battle and he is capable of taking down Tobias's Darkrai but that is where the problem might start.

Tobias hasn't revealed any of his pokemon, what if all his other pokemons are all as strong as his Darkrai.

Ahhhh, it's hard, I cannot tell who is going to win"

She said and let out a sigh.

Hearing her explanation Julian laughed, he knows how Cynthia is feeling, Tobias is the dark horse of this league conference while Ash is unpredictable and he is favored by this Universe and even if he faces a set back it will only make him stronger.

Even Julian doesn't know who he is going to face in the finals but he is excited for this exact reason, for the first time he doesn't know.

Ash has really impressed him, his growth has been exceptional, Julian's influence on Ash has been huge and that is why he is growing stronger.

Since Ash is growing stronger the people around him are also exceptionally strong, his rivals are strong, his companions are strong.

This is a completely different world to what Julian had seen before in front of the TV, the pokemons are a lot stronger, legendaries are disasters and there is a lot of cruel things here that he didn't see but he still fell in love with this world.

Now Julian is waiting for this day to end so he can finally watch the battle between Ash and Tobias, he spent the day with Cynthia being by her side and being in love.

The wait was finally over as Julian woke up from his bed the next morning and saw the sun rising from the east.

Today is the day Julian has been waiting for, he has not been excited this much for his own battles, after having breakfast with Cynthia they both headed towards the grand stadium, they could already see a lot of people lining up to get into the stadium.

Just like Julian, many people are excited to see this battle as well, one is Tobias who has been a mystery the whole league and the other is Ash and people know he is strong, Ash has been identified as the runner up in the Hoenn league and got defeated by Julian.

Many people believed that Ash will be the one who will face Julian again in the finals.

Julian and Cynthia went into their VIP rooms with a lot of drink and snacks, Julian had a hunch that this is going to be a very long battle.

After an hour of waiting, the battle is finally about to start, the people are getting excited and cheering out loud for their favorite to win.

The announcer soon begins introducing the two trainers, first, he introduces Tobias and tells the audience how mysterious and outstanding he has been throughout the whole league.

Next, he introduces Ash who is also a favorite of the crowd as many of the hardcore pokemon battle fans have seen him participating many times in the league, and this is his fourth league.

With both trainers on the field, the surrounding becomes tense as the referee takes his stage and starts to explain the rules while everyone goes quite.
