Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 158 - Julian Vs Juan (2)

Juan was not surprised by the outcome at all, he had expected Julian to be thought even though he is not using his old pokemon, he is still a champion.

Juan 'A champion is still a champion no matter what pokemon he uses, any pokemon he commands have certain grace in their movement and they share a very deep understanding with each other' ??

Juan "As expected of Sir Julian, your pokemon are remarkable"

Julian "Yes they are"

Juan "Then let me show you my next pokemon, come out Walrein"

Juan sent out his Walrein, it is a huge pokemon with long sharp fangs coming out of its mouth, it was larger than a normal Walrein which indicated Juan too good care of this Walrein.

Julian 'An Ice/Water type'

Julian "Sceptile get ready"

Juan "Walrein use Ice Ball"

Ice Ball is a very powerful move, the first Ice Ball doesn't have much power behind it but as the pokemon keeps using it, its power doubles each time unless the pokemon takes damage.

Julian "Sceptile Use Energy Ball"

Julian knew he cannot let Walrein build up that Ice Ball so he went to direct assault.

Sceptile created multiple energy balls and shot it towards Walrein, one of the Energy Ball destroyed the Ice Ball and the rest of them charged towards Walrein.

Juan "Defense Curl"

Walrein quickly rolled into a ball and a thick energy layer surrounded it, the Energy Balls hit one after the other completely depleting the thick energy surrounding Walrein body, Walrein was hit and received some damage, it was thanks to the Defense Curl that its defense rose highly.

Juan "Now use Ice Ball again"

Even though Sceptile's attack had stopped the Ice Ball from increasing its power, Ice Ball had another annoying property, after a pokemon uses Defense Curl its power doubles and the first Ice Ball carries as much power as the second Ice Ball, second Ice ball holds as much power as the third Ice Ball and it goes on.

The Ice Ball shot towards Sceptile with full speed.

Julian "Sceptile use Agility and dodge it"

Sceptile used Agility and his speed increased, he moved aside and dodged the Ice Ball but Walrein shot another one and this has double the power than before.

Sceptile used Agility once again and dodged the Ice Ball, Sceptile kept on using Agility to push his speed to limit.

Walrein sent another Ice Ball and this was gigantic, it holds 4x the power of the first Ice Ball.

Julian 'I cannot allow the Ice Ball to get more powerful, even if Sceptile is able to dodge them, it will soon freeze up the entire battlefield and it will become hard for Sceptile to move around.

Julian "Sceptile use Leaf Blade"

Sceptile sprinted towards Walrein with full speed while dodging the incoming attack, Walrein sent out another Ice Ball and if Sceptile gets hit by this it will be all over in just one move.

The Ice Ball was larger than before, Sceptile will have to go around it to reach Walrein, the Ice Ball was emitting a chilling light and it blinded Juan's vision so he couldn't see what happened.

Soon the Ice Ball blasted and half of the battlefield was completely covered with ice, Juan looked around and couldn't find Sceptile anywhere, then he suddenly noticed movement in the air, he looked up and saw Sceptile coming down on Walrein with his four long crescent red blades with full speed.

When the Ice Ball was about to hit Sceptile, Julian instructed Sceptile to use his tail to jump and dodge the Ice Ball, Sceptile had never used his tail after he evolved into Grovyle, he didn't think much and with his powerful tail he launched himself up in the air and dodged the gigantic Ice Ball.

Sceptile came down and delivered all four blades onto Walrein sending it crashing through the ice layer and into the water.

Julian "Finish this Frenzy Plant"

Julian was training Sceptile to use Frenzy Plant and it was hard, Frenzy Plant is the strongest Grass-type move and its power is devastating.

Sceptile jumped up and sent out multiple seeds on the battlefield, into the water and the platforms on the water.

He then raised his hand and started to glow green as he is trying to perform Frenzy Plant, receiving Sceptile's energy the seeds started to react and grow into humongous root like structure with small lives hanging on them.

These roots started to move on their own and got hold of Walrein and wrapped it, while one of the roots came down towards it like a whip and whipped Walrein from the roots hold to across the battlefield and planted it into a wall.

The roots disappeared and everything went back to normal, but the battlefield is completely ruined.

Juan was surprised this time by seeing the power behind the attack was, Frenzy Plant could be one of the hardest moves to master by any grass type pokemon and Sceptile somehow pulled it off.

Sceptile is still not as good as Julian's Venusaur but with Venusaur guiding his he would one day be on par with Venusaur.

Butler "Walrein is unable to battle, Sceptile wins"

Juan 'I don't expect to win this battle but I thought I would be able to give a harder battle for him but it looks like its nothing for him to take me down, as expected of the strongest champion'

Juan "My next pokemon, Go Crawdaunt"

Julian 'A Water/Dark type, huh?'

Julian "Sceptile return"

Julian decided to return Sceptile back to his Pokeball as he is tired after using Frenzy Plant.

Julian "Let's go Milotic come out"

Julian sent out Milotic for his next pokemon, Julian choose Milotic as she is very quick in water and could easily out speed anything in the water.

Since this is a water-themed pokemon gym it would be useless if he didn't take advantage of it.
