Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 90 - Towards Hoenn

At a big house in Pallet Town next to Professor Oak's lab, Julian is sitting on the sofa looking at the TV to his next was Professor Oak who was sipping some tea, his eyes were also stuck on the TV screen.

Professor "It looks like this is the final battle" ??

Julian "Yes, by tomorrow Kanto and Jhoto will have a new champion"

Oak "I cannot believe 12 months passed so soon"

Julian "Well we were busy with our company and work so it is normal I guess"

Oak "Haha after you became champion our company was showered with profit, now I have enough money to continue few of my abandoned research"

Julian stayed silent and looked at the TV screen in which a pokemon battle was being played live, it was Lance and his Dragonite against Karen and her Umbreon.

Julian "It is coming to an end"

Professor Oak looked at the screen and saw Dragonite blasting a Hyper Beam at Umbreon to finish it, Umbreon was knocked out and Lance won the battle as he became the Champion of both Kanto and Jhoto as per the rules of the silver conference.

Professor Oak looked at Julian and saw him smiling.

Oak "What's next? You have already become the champion, established a large company, what do you have in mind right now"

Julian turned towards Professor Oak and smiled.

Julian "Now, I will go to Hoenn and participate in the league once again, and of course, I will start from scratch again, catch new pokemons train them and win the league"

Oak "I see, then best of luck"

Julian stood up from the sofa

Julian "I should start to make some preparations, some take your time enjoying that tea"

Julian walked away leaving Professor Oak behind.

Oak "It's such a good thing to be young"

He sighs as continues to sip his tea, soon few days pass and Ash arrives back from Jhoto and visits the lab, he sees Professor Oak and Julian talking about something.

Ash "Professor Oak, Julian"

Oak "Oh Ash you finally came back, I was wondering when you will come back?"

Julian "You did great in the silver conference"

Ash "Hahaha, well it was nothing"

Ash rubs his head in embarrassment.

Julian "Well you could have done better if you had avoided Blaziken by maintaining that distance"

Ash laughs awkwardly after hearing Julian.

Oak "Well he is still young and inexperienced, he still has a long way to go"

Ash looks around and sees an evolution stone kept in a container but it was quite different from a normal one.

Ash "Professor Oak what's that"

Oak "Oh this, this is the new research material for my research on evolutions"

Ash "Cool so what can it do?"

Oak "Ah, it's still not ready yet, actually I am sending this to Hoenn to Professor Birch for the next phase"

Ash "Hoenn?"

Oak "Ah yes Hoenn, you should also go there the Hoenn league will soon take place, Julian is also heading there"

Ash "Hoenn league? So Julian will be taking part in it as well"

Julian "Yes"

Ash "Cool I also want to go to Hoenn and start a new journey once again"

Ash then suddenly remembers something.

Ash "Ah, professor Oak what about Gary?"

Oak "Gary? he said that he wants to start anew and aims to become a pokemon researcher just like me"

Ash "He wants to become a researcher"

Ash stays silent for a while and then says his good by and walks away.

Julian 'Gary wants to be a researcher, well looks like that saying is indeed true, an apple doesn't fall far from the tree, well it's good for him he finally realized his passion'

Julian 'I will leave towards Hoenn in two to three days'

Julian takes the special evolution stone and walks away.

Julian "Professor I will give it to Professor Birch so don't worry"

Oak "Thankyou"

The day goes by as night arrives indicating the end of the day.
