Journey Towards Greatness

Julian and his opponent took their place on the battlefield and waited for the referee to enter and start the battle.

They didn't have to wait long as the referee entered and took his position and started to explain the rules of the battle, it was the same rules as any league or gym battle. ​​

This will be a simple one vs one pokemon battle, if Julian wins this, he will become a Baron.

The referee started the battle before asking them to choose their pokemons for the battle, Julian chose Flabébé while his opponent chose a Pansage.

Once the battle started, Julian's opponent made the first move.

Trainer "Use Vine Whip"

Julian "Use Energy Ball"

As Pansage's Vine Whip charged at Flabébé, she used her Energy Ball and tossed it straight at Pansage, the two moves collided and cause a small explosion.

Pansage's whips were sent back to where they came from and struck Pansage, Pansage was stunned by this, Julian then continued his attacks.

Julian "Use Fairy Wind"

As Pansage was still trying to steady its balance, a gust of Fairy Wind hit it and sent it rolling on the ground.

Julian was not going to stop after this, he attacked again, and this time to end this battle.

Trainer "Pansage, quickly get back to your feet"

The trainer knew that his Pansage needs to get back to its feet or this battle will be over.

Julian "Energy Ball"

Flabébé charged up an Energy Ball and blasted it towards Pansage which is still trying to get back to its feet after it was rattled by the Fairy Wind.

The Energy Ball hit it right in the face and sent it tumbling through the ground and when it finally stopped, the result was clear as everyone saw that Pansage was knocked out.

The referee didn't wait around and called out for the result, with Julian winning his first battle, he is now a Baron.

With this win comes a reward, Duke Turner came down towards the battlefield with a white cape in his hand, he then wrapped the white cape around Julian's shoulder and declared him as a Baron.

Julian looked at the cape and realized that the cape is made of very expensive cloth and the badge that was attached to the cape was plated with gold, it was very stylish and Julian wouldn't mind wearing it outside the Chateau.

Once Julian was declared the Baron, the information was updated into the Chateau's official web page and it didn't even take a minute before people started to talk about it.

Julian didn't know about this as he was admiring his new cape.

Turner "Do you wish to continue battling?"

He asked.

Julian stopped admiring his cape and looked at Turner and back at his Flabébé, his Flabébé didn't even sweat in the last battle so he can continue the battle.

Julian "Can I switch my pokemon?"

Turner "Not during the battle but if you defeat an opponent and continue to battle to increase your win score, then you can"

Turner explained.

Julian "Then let's continue"

Turner "Ok then, from now on, you will have to defeat five opponents to advance to the next rank"

Julian nodded his head and went back to his position on the battlefield, seeing Julian return back to the battlefield caused quite a ruckus among the trainers and especially the other Barons who are close to their fifth win, the hoped that they don't get called to face of Julian.

The trainers are chosen randomly by a computer so anyone can be facing Julian if they are a Baron.

Julian waited for his opponent and soon a girl walked in, this girl seems to have won her second battle and now it's her third one, she is really nervous, she didn't expect she would face Julian but she couldn't do anything about it either.

She just decided to treat it as facing any other trainer because losing a match is not that rare in the Chateau.

The battle started and soon ended as well, Flabébé has gotten a lot better at using her energy and power up her moves.

Julian stayed on the battlefield and decided to continue the battle, he stuck with Flabébé and won the battle again, these continuous battle is now taking a toll on Flabébé but Julian decided to stick with her on his third battle as well.

Seeing Julian's Flabébé a little tired, his third opponent was a little hopeful but his hope was shattered as Flabébé won again.

Julian finally decided to give her some rest and sent out his Porygon for his fourth battle, seeing how Julian wants to continue battling, many realized that he wants to advance to Viscount rank today.

This was not new as some powerful trainers have done this in the past but it's very rare.

Julian's Porygon one shot its opponent winning Julian his fourth battle for the Viscount rank, and just like the fourth battle, the fifth battle also ended with just one move.

Julian won six battles today, the first battle made him a Baron, and the other five battle to advance to the Viscount rank.
