Chapter 614 - Special Pokemons

Karl is stunned as he sees his Venipede on the ground knocked out from a powerful Fire Punch from Darumaka, he looked at the Darumaka and noticed it dancing around happily after his win.

Karl didn't think his Venipede would go down so easily, he has been training really hard, he wanted to achieve what Julian does every time he participates in the league, that catches new pokemons and raise them to such an extent that they can win the whole league all by themselves.

Karl when through the battle in his head and realized that he was fighting on odds and he has a very slim chance of winning, his opponent has already seen his battling style and on top of that his opponent even got inside his head.

George "Venipede is unable to battle, Darumaka wins"

Don George called out the end to the battle on Julian's favor and everyone around the battlefield cheered, they felt satisfied seeing the arrogant Karl getting defeated by a random trainer who he just met.

Julian called back Darumaka to his Pokeball and decided to leave, Karl made a good impression on him but he has to improve a little more before he can challenge Julian again.

Julian defeating Karl will fuel Karl to become even stronger and that is what Julian wants, he wants to face strong trainers who can hold their own against him in the league.

Julian decided to leave as he is done for today, he will return back to his hotel room and rest for the day before leaving for Striaton city tomorrow, he also needs to catch a pokemon on the way so it will take some time before he gets to Striaton city and challenge the gym there.

______________________

The next day Julian woke up early and did his normal routine, meditate, train a little, then feed his pokemon, after everything was done he decided to leave Acc.u.mula town and make his way towards Striaton city, that is where he will have his first gym battle in Unova.

He wants to see how do the gym leaders of Unova compare to the ones he has seen in other regions, everything gym leader he has faced till now were different but all of them served the same purpose and that is to strengthen his pokemons.

How impactful will the gym leaders of Unova be compared to the ones Julian has already faced.

On his way towards Striaton city, Julian made a stop inside he forest to find a pokemon for himself but it didn't turn out the way he wanted, he didn't find any suitable pokemons at all, after searching for three days inside the forest he finally gave up.

He decided to go with the current two he has, he has been training Darumaka and Karrablast on how to battle and they are improving a lot and leveling up, now they are strong enough to take on a gym battle.

Julian knows he will have to face against three pokemons in the first gym and most of them won't allow a trainer will less than three pokemons to battle but the gym in Striaton city doesn't seem to bother about it.

The reason is that this gym has three gym leaders and they are brothers, some times they only hold two on two pokemon battles because one of them might not want to battle, them being comfortable with two on two pokemon battle is good.

And even if they want a full three on three pokemon battle, Julian is confident enough to take down three of them with just two of his.

Julian soon left the forest with not much thought behind it, finding a perfect pokemon is hard, he was very lucky the first time when he set out on an adventure in Kanto, he got lucky and found all good candidates for his team without trying hard, but this also made his realized that not all pokemons are born equal.

Some of them are just stronger than others when they are born and they will soon become a pillar of the pack if not captured by a trainer, after finding this Julian realized that he was very lucky to encounter all the pokemons he caught in Kanto.

From then he started to look for better pokemons, who were born superior to their own species, these special pokemons have a lot of potentials and Julian knows how to bring it out.

Till now he has encountered four of these pokemons, one is the Snivy he saw with that kid named Trip, his Darumaka and Karrablast are also in its group and finally the Venipede he saw with that gut named Karl.

These were exceptional pokemons that can grow a lot stronger, it depends on the trainer's luck and skill if they can capture these types of pokemons, luck to find them, and skills to catch them.

After a few days, Julian finally arrived at this destination, Striaton City, home to the Striaton gym and also the place with one of the most delicious food Julian has ever had.

Since he is already here he decided to visit the restaurant he visited on his way towards Nuvema town, he liked the food made here very much so he decided to bring some extra with him, the dessert here was also very delicious and he bought a lot of them because Crystal liked it a lot and so did the rest of his pokemons who were with him.

As he was buying this he heard a familiar voice from behind, he turned around with all the bags full of dessert and looked at this person, it was none other than Karl.

Karl "It's you"

Karl was surprised when he saw the man in black right in front of him, he still couldn't forget the defeat he faced when he went against this man in black.

Karl calmed himself and looked at Julian, after his defeat he started to train more and grew a little stronger than last time but he still has no idea if he can defeat the man in black with the little power up his pokemons went through.

Karl "Next time we battle I will be the one who will win"

This is all that he said, hearing this Julian smiled.

Julian "Then I will meet you in the finals of the Unova League"

Julian said and walked right past him, this time Julian didn't deepen his voice like before, he didn't mind revealing his identity to Karl, if he is a little more alert than a normal person he will figure out who the man is black really is.

When Karl heard Julian while he walked past him, he realized that he has heard this voice before, that is when it struck him, the person who is battled was none other than the Julian himself.

Karl turned around and saw Julian walk out of the restaurant.

Karl "So this is the man that everyone wants to defeat, no wonder I lost, he is the strongest trainer I have ever come across and I need to get a lot better to stand opposite to him on the battlefield, now I have an advantage over other trainers who dream the same as me, I have already faced him, now I know what it feels like to be read through and through by that monster, I have an advantage and I cannot lose that"

Karl thought and got really serious, he knew Julian saw straight through him during their first battle, if they had not met before and met in the league, Karl would have been completely destroyed by Julian, but now he knows and he will be ready.
