Journey Towards Greatness

Everyone was surprised by the outcome of that exchange, Drilbur got the upper hand, they couldn't believe how fast the Drilbur managed to increase his defense and then use Skull Bash on Dragonair, but it is over now, the first round went to Julian but the battle is still not over.

Kelly is also surprised by the outcome, she didn't think she would be the first one to lose her pokemon, she was very confident in landing that Dragon Rush and if it had not finished Drilbur, she had an Ice Beam ready in the back. ​​

Knowing that there is no way back to this, Kelly sighed and called her Dragonair back to its Pokeball and sent out her next pokemon, a Dewott, one of the starter pokemons here in Unova.

From what Julian knows about these pokemon, they are a very well balanced pokemon, they can be used either as a physical attacker or a special attacker, they are also known for their sharp and powerful scalchops that they use to strike down their opponents, they are also very focused in training compared to their revolution Oshawott.

Julian decided to call back Drilbur as he has enough for the day, he pulled off a good Skull Bash and with all the training he did for it to get here, he needs to be rewarded with a long nice rest, after calling Drilbur back to his pokemon, Julian sent out his next pokemon, his current ace Darumaka.

Being the strongest of Julian's Unova team, he is also the most ignorant of them all, he doesn't care about winning a pokemon battle at all, he only wants to beat up other pokemons by creating as big of an explosion as he can, the only motivation for his training is to create even bigger explosion than before.

Julian doesn't know if this is good or not, the good thing about this is, Darumaka will keep training until he makes an explosion bigger than his previous one, but he soon starts to go on overdrive if he doesn't make an even bigger explosion than before and won't stop at all, so Julian will always have to knock him out and send him back to his Pokeball.

This is also the reason why Darumaka is growing stronger faster than his friends, even Garchomp was surprised seeing how Darumaka went on overdrive when training, even he didn't go that far, Garchomp was always pushing his own boundaries while training if he wanted to keep up with the little monster that sleeps inside Julian's pocket and because of Garchomp, Julian other Sinnoh team also kept training harder, it was a massive chain reaction.

That is why Julian's Sinnoh team is the strongest if they were compared to their seniors in the same age category, well except Infernape and Snorlax, no one can come close to them.

Seeing how Darumaka is, Julian suspects his Unova team will also have the same reaction and his pokemons will start to train even harsher just to keep up with Darumaka.

__________________ Seeing Julian decision of sending out a fire type pokemon, everyone was surprised once again, Kelly has already revealed her pokemon before Julian made the switch but they didn't understand why he would send a pokemon that will have a disadvantage from the start.

But none of them looked down or mocked him for this, they have already seen what this trainer in the red jacket can do.

Kelly looked at Julian's choice and got serious, she made a mistake in the last round and she had to pay for it, she got too confident in her Dragonair's attack, she thought her opponent couldn't counter her but he did it anyway.

She knew her opponent is strong and he already has an edge over her because of his observation skills, she needs to focus extra hard if she wants to even land a hit on her opponent's pokemon, their last exchange, her Dragonair couldn't even land one move on Drilbur, that was something she never experienced before.

With both trainer's pokemon on the battlefield, the siren when off indicating the start of the second round, Kelly once again went for the attack, just because she lost the first round she won't change her battling style, she has always been the aggressor when it comes to battling.

But this time she won't be the only aggressor, Julian smiled and unleashed Darumaka.

Kelly "Dewott, use Razor Shell"

Julian "Counter with Fire Punch"

Dewott charged at Darumaka while taking out its scalchops and trying to slice Darumaka with it, seeing the opponent coming towards him, Darumaka smiled and started to move, it started to roll forward and the speed behind it was explosive.

Whoever saw this was shocked by it, they have never seen anything like this before, the spinning red ball got closer to Dewott and suddenly fire flared out from its right side, as both pokemons were inches away from each other, Darumaka opened up and swung his arm right at Dewott, Dewott also slashed its scalchops at Darumaka, both attacks clashed with each other and created a thunderous sound followed by a sizzle, it was as if someone poured cold water on top of a hot burning pan.

Whit smoke covered the whole battlefield, everyone expected Dewott to come out the winner of this exchange as it is a water type and the move it used was a water type as well, having an advantage over the fire type move that is Fire Punch.

But then everyone saw Dewott being sent flying out of the smoke, Dewott quickly did a tool and landed on the ground and grabbed onto his left arm, that exchange was more than it could handle, as the smoke cleared up everyone could see Darumaka rising his little hands up in the air and jumping around from side to side in happiness.

Nobody thought that this little pokemon would actually win that exchange, it also proved how strong this little one really is.
