Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 694 - Gym Leader Elesa

Mr. Alester "Did you see the news?"

He asked. ??

"Hehehe, of course, how can I not see it, it's all over the media, your son is a special one, hehehehe"

The person on the other side said.

Mr. Alester "Ok, I want you to find the person in that red jacket and break his arms and legs, also capture all his pokemons and give them to me"

He said. Since he has already called this person he wanted to go all out and destroy the life of this person in red, it didn't matter who was behind him, once this person on the other end of the phone deals with him, no one will be able to trace it back to him.

"Hahahaheheheh, you know you already owe a huge deal to the underworld, do you want one more thing to pile up, you know your future generation will also suffer from this right?"

The person on the other side said.

Mr. Alester took a glance at his son who is just staring at him like an idiot.

Mr. Alester "It doesn't matter, do it"

"Hehehahaha, ok then, I will call you when it's done"

With that, the call ended, Alester didn't come to this level doing good stuff, he got involved with many gangs and crooks, he then got introduced to the underworld and became a part of it after owing them many favors, his life is not his own but the underworlds.

If he wants to continue living his luxury life he has to do what the underworld tells him to do and in return, he might get to ask favor like this, assassination, kidnapping, and many other things.

He can do it with the help of the underworld.

Julian continued his day with his usual routine, after doing so he headed towards the Nimbasa gym as he is ready to challenge the gym.

He soon arrived in front of the Nimbasa gym, he has already done his research on her gym and he has a general idea on how to handle her pokemons but she still has a reputation of being very hard on her opponents, before entering the gym Julian changed his clothes again, he put on a blue jacket this time.

The best way to avoid the public eye is to constantly keep changing appearance and not sticking to the same theme, so his wardrobe is now filled with different color jackets.

The gym in front of him looks very flash, with purple shining paint and lightning strips going everywhere, no one would confuse this gym like any other typing an electric.

As he walked in he heard sounds of explosions coming from the battlefield, it was clear that the gym leader was having a battle, Julian sighed as he knew he will not be able to battle her today, he regretted coming here late.

Julian 'Since I am already here, let's see how good the gym leader really is'

Julian thought and walked through a gate that allowed visitors to entered the audience area and watch the battle.

When he walked in he was not the only one in the audience area, there were some people who were sitting and watching the battle, Julian noticed one person in particular as he has seen him before.

It was that young man he saw at the beginning of his journey in Unova, the one who had a Grapploct, the one who came from Galar just to battle him in the Unova League, Julian only remembered him because of the pokemon he had, the one from Galar.

Julian got curious and took a seat far away from the people already sitting in the audience area, nobody bothered to notice him as he didn't stand out anyways, they were completely focused on the battle that is happening in front of them.

Julian also looked at the battlefield and noticed another familiar face, it was Kelly, the one he battled yesterday, as he watched the battle he realized that Kelly was going to lose, he noticed how fluid Elesa, the gym leader of Nimbasa gym actually was during her attack.

Even though Kelly continued using her aggressive style, she was not able to hand any significant hits on Elesa's pokemons that gave her an edge, soon Elesa's Zebstrika landed a wild charge on Kelly's Dragonair and knocked it out.

Julian was really impressed by how good Elena was, he could clearly tell she had a deep connection with her pokemons and they could predict their opponent's moves when their opponents started to fall under pressure.

Kelly sighed as she lost once again, this was her second loss in Unova, she also realized how tough the competition was here in Unova.

Elesa "If you want to participate in the Unova league you need to work harder, the trainers I have fought before are lot stronger than you, both in technique and strength, with champion Julian declaration and him challenging the whole world for a good battle, this year's league has become much harder, only the best of the best can get into the league, with your current performance, you will not be able to even get in the top 128"

Elesa was very hard on her words but Julian didn't blame her, his challenge did make this year's Unova league really hard for young trainers who wanted to get a chance at becoming famous. If they had talent they might get a chance but they won't make it if they just rely on their talent.

Elesa "Not just your trainers, but we the gym leader are also pressured by this, so we have to go even harder on our opponents as only the best can move forward. If you really want to enter the league, you have to do better"

Elesa said.

Kelly just nodded and decided to train a little more before coming back, what Julian didn't know that the gym leaders from here on will be much harder on their opponents because the standard of the league has risen very high.

Hearing this Julian got a little excited, even a promising trainer like Kelly lost and she needs to train even more to advance forward, Julian knows he will have some good battles in the league.
