Julian lifts the wine glass and sips it then looks at Jimi Brown

Julian "Well you see I plan to start a company and its first product will be pokemon food"

Jimi Brown frowns after hearing this, there are already so many pokemon foods manufactures so to attract the attention of trainers to a particular brand will be very difficult.

Jimi "I don't want to sound superficial but how do you plan to attract customers to this new product of yours"

Julian "I know what you are thinking Mr. Jimi, tell me what will happen when people find out the food they feed their pokemon are the same eaten by the champion's pokemon and also prescribed by Professor Oak himself"

Jimi Brown's eyes glow hearing this, he wanted to build his relationship with Julian because he was already really famous and him being related to Julian in any way was profitable and now he gained another huge opportunity to become acquainted with Professor Oak.

Jimi "Sir Julian are you saying that you are going to release your secret recipe to the public, and will Professor Oak really prescribe it?"

Julian "Oh I forgot to mention that Professor Oak will be one of the Board of Directors and will be supervising this company"

When Jimi heard Professor Oak will be one of the members of the Board of Directors he was dumbfounded, he never thought this would be possible, Professor Oak is a world-renowned scientist and him being one of the pillars for this future company is already a huge boost start for it.

Jimi Brown thought about it for a minute and finally decided to take part in it, he cannot miss such a golden opportunity and even if this business doesn't go well it won't matter much to him as he will still get a chance to get closer to Professor Oak and Julian.

Jimi "Ok then Sir Julian I will invest in this new company of yours"

Julian "That's great, then I will be depending on you from now on, so how about we start with finding a perfect headquarters for it"

Jimi "You leave that to me Sir Julian, my friend is in real estate I will ask him if there are any buildings on sale"

Julian "Ok then I will be leaving, this is my contact number and this one is Professor Oak's, you can contact any one of us after finding a suitable place"

Jimi Brown takes the cards and gives it to his secretary for safe keeping, Julian gets up and is escorted out by Jimi himself, when they walk out people seeing them together gets curious about their relationship, one is a rising star and another is a billionaire.

Julian rides back to pallet town to convey the news to Professor Oak when he reaches there he hears Professor Oak talking to someone in the phone.

Oak "Thank you Steev you where very helpful, I will call you back after confirming some things"

Julian "Professor who was that"

Oak "Oh Julian since you where gone I decided to contact few of my friends who grow berries for leaving, Steev is one of them and Itold him about our plan so he agreed to deliver berries needed for preparation for our pokemon food"

Julian "That's great, I went and asked Jimi Brown and he also agreed to invest, I gave him your contact info so he might call you"

Oak "Well it's good that you thought of planning to start a business, and I am thankful for you asking me to join you, you know how difficult it is to complete my research without money but now if this business of ours runs well I will be able to continue some of my abandoned research"

Julian "No need to thank me, Professor, we both are profiting from each other so it's all right"

Oak "What you said is true, we both are profiting from each other".

Soon after a few days, Jimi Brown called to tell that he found a perfect building to make the headquarters and also a place to manufacture the food, both Julian and Professor Oak went and saw the place and where satisfied with it, Jimi Brown started to invest a lot of money in this project because he knew that his profit ratio will be more than loss so he didn't hesitate, Julian decided to put him in board of directors with 10% of the company shares, Jimi was really pleased with this even though 10% seemed less right now, he knew his profit ration will keep on growing with this company, Professor Oak got 30% shares in it and Julian took 50%.

They soon signed a contract and did some legal work which took a month, due to Jimi's connection it was over quickly, Jimi's few business partners also invested in this company after hearing that Julian and Professor Oak are involved in it, they took the remaining 10% of the shares between them, after all the legal work the Julian handed out the recipe and with the supervision of Professor Oak he didn't have to worry about it being stolen.

Julian finally decided it was time to challenge the Elite four so that his fame can rise which will boost his new company's name was JC Corporations, the manufacturing process still did not start because they need to import huge machines for it from other regions, so they stuck on renovating the buildings under the JC Corporations name.

Its been over amonth since Julian had won the league so he held a meeting with the Board of Directors and told them about his plans to challenge the elite four, they where all very supportive of this decision as they knew if Julian defeated all four of them he will become a champion and being a champion means the highest position to have in a region, Julian becoming a champion will be the biggest opportunity for this new company to rise.

Julian is now currently heading back towards Victory roan to meet Charles Goodshow as he will be the one to inform the elite four about the challenge and they have to arrive at Indigo Plateau to battle against Julian.

After traveling for few days Julian finally reach Victory road and directly goes to the League Competition Committee headquarters to meet Charles, when he arrived there he was greeted by the receptionist and she quickly contacted the leaders about Julian's arrival.

The Receptionist led Julian towards the meeting room where he found Charles Goodshow sitting on his chair and smiling at Julian, Julian walked forward and took a seat opposite to him and started to speak.

Julian "Mr. Goodshow I am ready to face them"

Goodshow "And here I thought you didn't want to become a champion and went somewhere else"

Julian "Regarding that, even if I defeat all four of them I will not accept the champion's position"

Charles was surprised by this answer

Goodshow "Why is that?"

Julian "Well I am still young and I want to keep on traveling so being a champion is really not my cup of tea"

Goodshow "Ahhh, I see from where you are coming and I understand, I know being crowned champion of a region is a very difficult job and you will only get a vacation for few months, I understand but you will still be called a champion after your win even if you don't except it"

Julian "I know that but being called and being one is different and I am happy with that"

Goodshow "I see that you have already decided your path and I have no right to stop you, I will inform the elite four and start the preparation for these battles"

Julian "When will it start?"

Goodshow "You don't have to worry about that stuff within two weeks all the preparation will be done and we have to announce about this to the whole Kanto so take your time training"

Julian "Thank you, then I will be leaving".

Julian walks away leaving Charles Goodshow behind and alone in his office

Goodshow 'Such a promising young man, I can see that he will take the world by storm'.

Julian decides to go back and train his pokemons for now, even though he is confident of winning against the Elite four with his pokemons current strength he doesn't like to slack off.

After going back to pallet town Julian starts his training with his pokemon.

Infernape now is training with Heatran to level up they both always compete against each other and display their mastery of flames to each other even though they are close friends they are also rivals, Electivire is trying to master a new move which Julian came up with, it is very taxing to his energy but the damage done by it will be devastating, Gyarados also started to train his elemental powers, Gengar managed to have full control of ghost energy and is now able to possess unsuspected people, his other pokemons are also doing their own special training to increase their elemental powers as they wait for the battle day to arrive,
