Chapter 151 Double Battle 2

Grovyle finally evolved into Sceptile after restricting his evolution for quite a while, he was trying to get good control over his energy before evolution just like Gardevoir.

Since he had already done it, he just needed stimulation to evolve and this battle gave it to him.

Tate and Liza were not suspecting an evolution, it was already hard for them now Sceptile being on the battlefield was now more frustrating.

Liza "Bro lets finish this quickly, it doesn't matter even if it evolved"

Tate "Let's do this"

Julian "Sceptile, Metang let's get over with this"

Liza "Lunatone use Confusion"

Tate "Solrock you too use Confusion"

Lunatone and Solrock start to float high in the air as their body gets covered with psychic energy, suddenly the planet models in the air start to shake and spin around.

Julian 'What are they doing?'

Suddenly a small planet model rushed towards Sceptile and Metang.

Julian 'That is some powerful psychic manipulation'

Julian was impressed by the control of Solrock and Lunatone over their psychic energy.

Julian "Metang destroy it, use Meteor Mash"

Metang shoots like a jet towards the planet model as his body is covered by blue energy leaving a behind a blue tail line.

Metang crashed into the planet model and shattered into pieces, but he couldn't see his opponents.

Tate "Now Solar Beam"

Liza "Use Ice Beam"

Lunatone and Solrock hit behind the shattered pieces of planet model and shot their attack towards Metang.

Julian "Iron Defense"

Metang activated Iron Defense after hearing Julian as his body gets covered by a layer of steel, the Ice and Solar Beam hit Metang and sends him crashing into a planet model.

Julian "Sceptile now Magical Leaf"

While Solrock and Lunatone were busy trying to take down Metang, Julian instructed Sceptile to get behind them while they are distracted through telepathy.

Sceptile was constantly using Agility and boosting his speed while staying still and he has reached his limit.

Sceptile easily got behind Lunatone and Solrock before Tate and Liza could even warn them and launched a powerful Magical Leaf attack, Magical Leaf can never be dodged so they took the attack head-on.

They got assaulted by multiple glowing leaves which blasted them into a planet model.

Julian "Metang finish this, use Meteor Mash"

Metang shook off the ice covering his body from the previous attack and launched his self towards the planet in which Solrock and Lunatone were stuck, his body got covered with blue energy and shot towards the planet's backside while leaving a blue tail light.

Metang went straight through the planet and hit Lunatone and Solrock from behind which they were not expecting at all, they got thrown towards Sceptile once again.

Julian "Now Leaf Blade"

Since Lunatone and Solrock were in no position to counter they went straight into Sceptile's Leaf Blades, one slash for each of them and they were down.

Lunatone and Solrock fainted.

Rachel "Solrock and Lunatone are unable to battle, so the winner is the challenger and his Sceptile and Metang"

Tate and Liza didn't feel great because of losing but they did understand that they were overconfident and didn't act like a gym leader at all, this was because they were always the ones to win easily against any challenger they faced.

But now things are different, they got defeated by a trainer far stronger than them.

Rachel went back and brought the Mind badge and gave it to Tate and Liza so that they could hand it over to Julian.

Tate and Liza took the badge and looked at Julian.

Liza "Thank you for reminding us how to be a proper gym leader by showing us how week we still are and we need more training"

Tate "Yes, thank you"

They gave the badge to Julian and he took it.

Julian "You are not weak, you just need to find your own way"

Saying so Julian turned around and walked away.

Liza "Wait we still don't know your name"

Julian "It's Julian, from Kanto"

Saying so he walked out of the gym.

Back in the gym Tate and Liza looked at each other.

Tate "Wait, did he say his name is Julian from Kanto"

Liza "Yes he did, but why do you ask?"

Tate "Isn't the previous champion of Kanto has the same name as well"

Liza "Wait are you saying? Let me check"

Liza took out her phone and quickly searched for Champions of Kanto and there they saw Julian's face with his eight pokemons.

Tate "It was really him"

Liza "OH MY ARCEUS, This isn't a joke right?"

Tate "No it isn't we just had a battle with a champion, luckily he wasn't using any of his old pokemon"

He said as he looked at the photo of Julian and eight giant pokemons with him.

Liza "But what is he doing here, is he also competing in the league this year"

Tate "I think so, as he is not a champion or a member of the elite four he is eligible to participate in the league"

Liza "I think we should speak with the elites of Hoenn and tell them about him, he might be able to help us in the upcoming disaster"

Tate "Hoenn is really in a bad situation right now, and there is also that looming treat outside the planet, we don't know if it's going to crash or not"

Rachel "I hope it doesn't we still aren't able to track down its path as it's still very far away"

Liza "Mom, I think you are father should quickly inform the elites about it as well"

Rachel "No, not right now, they are already facing a troublesome disaster, we don't want them to get more frustrated by this as well"

Tate "Liza, Mom is right we should wait until the current problem is solved"

Liza "Ok"

She looked at the direction Julian left and sighed.

Liza 'I hope he can help us'.
