Journey Towards Greatness

Tanisha is very worried right now as her Typhlosion is very badly hurt with some internal injuries, she sent it back to its Pokeball, she then looked at Dhrago angrily but she couldn't do anything about it as well.

She made her way out of the battlefield without saying anything. ​​

Dhrago also left laughing after another impactful victory, and he won't stop, he wanted to show the world that he will be the one to destroy Julian, he still remembers what happened when he was in Sinnoh, his superior died and the person who killed him is now in a mental asylum.

And he believes that it had something to do with Julian, he remembered an incident about an intruder on the island and how the guards couldn't stop him, they also talked about this intruder having a black Garchomp and the only person that he has ever seen owning a black Garchomp is Julian.

Soon after Julian's little visit to the underworld's lair in Sinnoh, it got stormed by the league soon after and many people were brought back to Sinnoh and the underworld had to abandon that island, that island was quite a big loss for the underworld and now they are not able to take it back because the league has taken over.

Dhrago couldn't accept the defeat he received that day, he was forced to abandon the island by some nobodies who couldn't even put a scratch on him if they had not come in thousands.

From that day he believes that Julian was behind the whole incident and he wanted to take revenge and when he heard about Julian's challenge, he decided to take revenge on Julian in front of the whole world and kill his pokemons in the process.

Make Julian regret ever messing with the Underworld in the first place, he wanted to teach Julian that no matter how strong someone is, they can never ignore the underworld's existence and mess with them.

Dhrago was risking it big this time, if the league finds out about his true identity then he might get stormed but he had things worked out for him, his history was clean in public records and it showed no connection between him and the underworld.

The preliminary continued forward with Julian visiting other stadiums to check out the other big battles that were going to take place, and Julian is impressed by the trainers that are participating in this league, just as he had expected, this year's league was much harder than any other league.

Trainers who would usually make it to the top 16 before are now getting eliminated in the preliminaries and this made many of them nervous, Julian watched Glen battle and saw some new pokemons that belong to the Galar region, and he wondered about going there.

And about Glen's battle, he ended it big, his Sirfetch'd used a move Julian had never seen before called Meteor Assault, Julian was really surprised by seeing it, the power behind it was devastating, it was clearly as powerful as a Giga Impact but a fighting type move.

Julian 'I need to get one of those'

He thought as he looked at the Sirfetch'd.

Glen's battle ended and Julian waited for Yesh's to begin, he was the last trainer Julian wanted to check out and see how much he has improved during the time he was not around.

He didn't have to wait much longer as the battle started soon after Glen's battle, the announcer started to hype up the audience for the next battle and the audience didn't disappoint him with their reactions because they know another big battle is coming.

People are eager to see Yesh battle again, he is clearly one of the favorites to win the league, people even believe that he will be the one who finally takes down one of Julian's pokemon, there were already fan clubs for Yesh after people got exposed to his unusual style of battle and personality.

Since he was one of the big players, those media channel couldn't help themselves but interview Yesh and they found his way of talking very unusual but effective, this also made his very famous.

The announcer first introduced his opponent, Julian looked into this opponent and wasn't much interested, this opponent is from Unova but his record is not that great, he has one loss and that doesn't put a good impression on him but at the end of the day, its a pokemon battle and sometimes things can happen when people don't expect them.

There is always that little hope of winning against a strong opponent unless their opponent is Julian who is known to make no mistake on the battlefield.

That is also why Yesh is one of the favorites, his battle style also seems almost perfect with no mistakes and he also seems to adapt to the battle very easily just like Julian, people compared him to Julian, saying that one day he will surpass Julian when he grows up because he is already so good at such young age.

As Yesh's opponent walked in only a few people cheered while most of the sound came from people discussing with each other about the upcoming battle.

The announcer then moved on and started to introduce Yesh and the crowd started to get louder and his name echoed all over the stadium.

Julian was surprised by this, he didn't think Yesh would have so many fans, well since this is such a big stage and so many eyes are watching this league, it was very clear that strong trainers like Yesh would definitely gain a lot of popularity.

Julian smiled and waited for Yesh to make his entrance.
