Journey Towards Greatness

The day of the finals is here and people have already lined up outside the Grand Stadium, these people quickly want to get inside the grand stadium and find a seat, since this is a huge battle, the league made some preparation to make the seating arrangement for the public even bigger, and the people who bought the tickets in this few days doesn't have any assigned seats, so they want to rush in and quickly find a seat on the edges of the grand stadium where the extra seats have been placed.

Seeing how people are rushing in the league had to assign a lot more guards at the entrance so that people don't push around and start a stampede. ​​

When Julian arrived at the grand stadium and saw the crowd he decided to take the back door but when he got there he suddenly got swarmed by TV and news reporters, Julian smiled awkwardly as he saw them, now that they have seen him he cannot escape.

He stood there for five minutes and answered their questions before leaving by giving an excuse, after getting into his waiting room he closed his eyes and started to meditate, he still has a lot of time before the battle begins, he is three hours early but three hours is not much for Julian he can just meditate and pass the time.

While Julian is meditating, Ash and Tobias still had to work on their teamwork, the last two days had a lot of ups and downs, their style didn't match at all, they couldn't perform any combinations or read each other but they got the hang of it after thinking about their goal, that is to defeat Julian.

Having trained hard for the past two days they got the hang of it but they still need work, they are not perfect but they can go with their current state.

Time passes by as more people come to the Grand Stadium, choppers start flying over the stadium to record the battle from above but the league didn't allow them to do this as it is dangerous to fly above a battlefield, so these choppers were forced to record the battle from the sides, there are also a lot of drones flying around as they are being used to film the battle live.

Since drones can be destroyed during a battlefield, they have multiple spare drones ready to take off as soon as one gets destroyed.

The budget for this battle is huge, many media companies wanted the right to stream this battle on their channel for which the league made millions, even Julian's company stepped in and gave permission to some other companies as they had the authority to do so because Julian is one of the participants of this battle.

And the league didn't try to play any games with them because they knew the influence that Julian's company had on the world, their product was famous all around the world and pokemons loved the food they sell, they also started to expand into other fields as well as the size of the corporation grew at a rapid pace.

As every second passed the crowd got louder and louder as they talked about this battle, they wanted to see how this will all play out, will it be just like any other battle that Julian was a part of where it was all one-sided or things will be totally different where Julian cannot keep up with two trainers simultaneously, this is not a normal street battle where the level of the trainer is low.

This is the league and the final participants are as good as the elite four and maybe even better.

This was a really challenge to Julian and his Sinnoh team who are not his strongest pokemons but that is what made this battle special.

For the first time, people didn't know if Julian is going to win or not.

One hour remaining for the final battle and there is a concert currently being held right now, they cannot just let the audience sit on their seats for three hours or more with no entertainment, several singers were asked to perform today, some boy bands, some girl bands gave their performance while the crowd sang along with them.

There were fireworks and a lot of noise, this year's league is huge, the biggest Sinnoh has ever had, the amount of people watching this is way over the league's expectations.

Just to watch this battle over a hundred million people are sitting in front of their TV to watch it, this traffic that this event is bringing them will help the league for years.

_____________________

Inside the other waiting room, Tobias and Ash are still discussing on which pokemon they should use, unlike Julian both of them can only use three pokemons, making it a team of six, while Julian will use six pokemons.

They are still not sure which other pokemons Julian is going to use for the finals, they know he has more pokemon to spare, they also know that they have to look out for Julian's Garchomp, Lucario and Victini as these three have been the most explosive pokemon in his team.

Garchomp is way powerful for them to tackle him head-on, Lucario is way too technical for them to engage in a close combat battle and his Victini is a powerhouse who can destroy their whole team with a single V-Create.

And Julian still has his other pokemons that they have no idea about, Manaphy has not shown its full potential, Rampardos is a hard hitter, Togekiss is fast a very defensive, Gliscor is a tank and Luxray is very nimble and agile.

They know that they need to work extra hard to deal with even one of these pokemons so they have to give it their all during this battle.

As they discuss this the time goes by and its time for them to battle.
