Journey Towards Greatness

Julian then continued to train Yesh for two days before Yesh finally decided that he is ready to take on the Nacrene gym leader, Julian felt that Yesh was overworking himself and his pokemon, with all the training he got with Julian he could easily take down a second gym.

Even Julian's pokemon got a lot of training and improved a lot, he even started to train his Roggenrola and Drilbur, he noticed that both of them became really competitive around each other which would lead them to often break into a big fight which would soon get dispelled by Gengar or Infernape. ​​

Julian didn't know how to take care of these two new additions to his group, he could tell they really hated each other, Julian decided to let them fight, for now. Soon they will get along after finding respect for each other, it was always like this.

It is not the first time there was fighting between his pokemons but they were not serious as Roggenrola and Drilbur, they really seemed to hate each other.

___________________Today is the day Yesh is going to challenge the gym so Julian decided to go and see what he can learn from the battle, how good is this gym leader, he heard that she is very good at what she does and now he gets to personally witness it.

Julian woke up early and headed towards the center of the city where the gym is located. When he reached there he saw a beautifully decorated building that looked like a palace but shrunk down, this building is the Nacrene city gym.

He looked around and saw a trainer getting out of the gym a little disappointed and frustrated, it looks like he lost against the gym leader, Julian walked past the trainer and entered the gym building, he looked around and saw that the interior was also really well decorated, there is a red carpet on the floor and a lot of vases and statues were placed around the hall.

He saw an old man with a black suit standing next to a door. When the old man saw Julian he just smiled and nodded. Julian, walked towards the old man.

Julian "I am here to watch a pokemon battle"

He said to which the old man just nodded and gestured Julian to enter through the door, Julian nodded his head and walked past the old man and into the door, as he walked in he saw a big battlefield and right in the middle of the battlefield stood a woman who seems to be in her early 30s, she is a black woman with bushy light teal color hair on top of her head, she is also wearing a white shirt and teal pants.

This woman is the gym leader of the Nacrene gym, Lenora. She noticed Julian walk in and gazed at him for a few seconds, she saw this man covering his face with a black make clearly wanting to hide his identity.

Lenora "Are you here to challenge me?"

She asked in a very confident voice, she was ready to battle anyone right on the spot without a second thought.

Hearing her question Julian shook his head denying it.

Julian "I am just here to watch today, maybe tomorrow"

He said and took his seat in the audience area, Lenora continued looking at Julian with a suspicious gaze, she already has some guesses in her mind on who this person could be but she kept quiet, as she was about to continue what she was doing another person walked in, this time it is a young boy with black hair and purple clothes.

It is Yesh and he came to battle Lenora.

Lenora looked at Yesh and didn't think much and took her position on the battlefield, she could tell that the boy wanted to battle her just by the way he looked at her, Yesh also took his position and glanced at Julian who is sitting on the side.

Lenora "I will keep it short, this will be a two on two pokemon battle, you will be the only one allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the person who has a pokemon standing at the end of the battle will be the winner, am I clear?"

She asked to which Yesh nodded, he has heard these rules several times so it didn't matter if he understood it or not, it was all the same.

Lenora "Good then let's begin the battle, send out your pokemon"

She said and tossed a Pokeball up in the air revealing her first pokemon, a Watchog.

Yesh didn't say much and sent out his Croagunk for this round, he is very confident in his ability to win as his pokemons improved a lot in these two days that he trained with Julian.

Seeing Yesh's choice Lenora chuckled and didn't say anything.

Lenora "Then, let the battle begin"

She said and started the battle.
