Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 573 - It Happened Once Before

Both pokemon went down at the same time which caused everyone present in the stadium and everyone at home who is in front of the TV to get dumbfounded, this was the semifinals and for something like this to happen was really bizarre.

A draw in the semifinals is a huge deal, people won't be able to tell who will go to the finals, the only way for one of the trainer to enter the finals will be decided by the league committee. ??

But people were not rushing, the referee can take responsibility on himself to send one person to the finals.

Both Ash and Tobias look at the referee as they see their pokemon go down at the same time, the referee is troubled and in a dilemma right now, he contacts the assistant referee to ask for advice but doesn't get any.

Seeing that there is no other way the referee makes a call.

Referee "Both Pikachu and Tyranitar are unable to battle, hence its a draw, the trainer who will advance towards the finals will be decided by the league committee"

As the referee gave the call the crowd started to boo him, some wanted Ash to advance and some wanted Tobias to advance, the crowd was split.

The referee didn't know what to do, he quickly made an escape to his room before he gets bombarded by waste thrown by the audience.

Ash and Tobias don't know what to do either, they look at each other for answers but both of them are clueless.

Another battle for the semifinals cannot take place for several reasons.

First being that the first match was a complete waste of time, both trainers gave their all and their pokemon suffered several injuries, they won't be able to battle with full strength in their next battle.

Second, being that one trainer's pokemons might not have been healed properly to participate.

These reasons could drag the league for much longer so it is left the league committee to handle this.

Julian "What happens now?"

He turned and asked his girlfriend Cynthia as she is more knowledgeable in this kind of situation.

Cynthia "I don't know as well, this is the first time something happened like this in the semifinals"

She said and smiled awkwardly.

Julian "In the semifinals huh? did it happen before in other states?"

Cynthia "I think it happened once before... Yes I remember, 12 years ago in the Sinnoh league conference, the two finalists tied just like this and they had to share the championship, both of them were also allowed to challenge the elite four"

She said.

Julian "Hmm, both were allowed to share the championship..... I wonder if this can be done?"

He paused and thought for a second.

Cynthia "What do you mean?"

She asked as she saw Julian thinking about something.

Julian "I was wondering if I can face both of them together if they win they can share the championship and if I win it's the same old usual"

He said and smiled.

Cynthia "Huh? I don't know but that sounds interesting, do you think you can take on both of them?"

Julian "For the first time I don't know, that is why this is interesting, I want to see how good I will be when I face of two powerful trainers, thinking about it gets me excited"

Cynthia "I don't think you can defeat them alone, if it is your old team then sure, there is no question that you would win but your Sinnoh team isn't strong enough"

She said.

Julian "The thing is I am still holding back so I can go all out against you in our battle"

He said and grabbed her waist.

Cynthia "Ya sure, dream on, I am a champion as well, I will defeat you if you challenge me"

Julian "Ok then, I will defeat these two and take you on, the loser of our battle will have to do anything the user tells them"

Julian said.

Cynthia "Deal"

She said and sealed the bet with a kiss.

Julian "Ok then, be ready to do everything I tell you to"

Cynthia "Don't get overconfident, I am a lot stronger than Lance"

Julian "Fine, we will see that when we are against each other"

He said and let her go.

Cynthia "Ok, I will be leaving, I will inform the league about your desire, this will be fun to watch"

She said and walked away leaving Julian and Infernape behind all alone in the VIP room.

Julian "Hey buddy, its training time"

He said and smiled and Infernape, Infernape nodded his head and the fire in his eyes blazed.

Julian's Sinnoh team will be going to go through hell now, Julian wants to see the limit of his pokemons and this handicap battle might just be the perfect way to see his pokemons true capabilities.
