Journey Towards Greatness

With that final move from Drilbur Julian won his second gym battle in Unova and as he expected Lenora was indeed a tough opponent as she was able to land some good hits on his Drilbur.

If Julian was not alert during the battle his Drilbur could have been severely damaged and he could have lost the battle.

Julian also wondered why such a good gym leader is running a lower-tier gym, with Lenora's skill and knowledge she could even challenge the Elite Four if she wanted to, she could get a huge raise from the league as well.

But It is not Julian's business to interfere in other people's private life so he let this though die inside his mind, now that the battle is over Lenora just smiled and wiped off the sweat from her forehead.

The last-minute of the battle was really tense for her, too bad she lost and regretted it but she knew she was also battling the best there was ever was.

She called her Deerling back to its Pokeball and let it rest for it as it did put on one hell of a battle against Julian's Drilbur.

She then walked towards Julian with the Basic Badge in her hand.

Lenora "As the world says, you are the best, It's an honor to present you this badge"

She said and handed over the badge to Julian, Julian smiled and took the badge and put it in his badge case, he then looked at Lenora and took out a Pokeball and put it in front of Lenora, Lenora looked confused by this.

He then released the Drilbur inside the Pokeball and showed it to Lenora, she looked at the Drilbur and realized that it is not the one Julian used in the battle.

Julian "This Drilbur is a sibling of my Drilbur, I found them in the Wellspring cave. Since I cannot take care of them all I am trying to find suitable trainers for them, I hope you can take care of it and if you can't maybe you will be able to find someone good"

Hearing Julian Lenora started to think before finally nodding her head.

Lenora "Don't worry, I will find someone who is worthy of training this little one, I can see great potential in this one, till I find someone I will train it myself"

She said happily.

Hearing her answer Julian sighed in relief, he was glad that this was finally taken care off, after leaving the Drilbur with Lenora Julian walked out of the gym and noticed Yesh standing outside waiting for him.

Yesh "You were right"He suddenly said out of the blue.

Julian "About what?"

Yesh "About Lenora taking it easy on me, if she had battled me the way she did with you I would have lost"

Julian "Even if she wanted to she wouldn't, she is a gym leader, not a pokemon trainer battling to win, her job is to guide young trainers like you and sometimes they intentionally lose because they know the limit of a trainer and how stronger they can get in the future if they are pointed at the right direction"

He said and patted Yesh's head.

Yesh "So where are we going?"

He asked.

Julian "Hmm, it's obviously Castelia city, after Castelia we can have a choice so until then it is a straight path"

He said and started to walk towards his hotel and Yesh followed right behind him.

Julian "Why are you following me, go to your hotel and meet me at the exit of the city tomorrow morning"

After listening to him Yesh nodded his head and walked away as Julian just watched, he sighed.

Julian "What a weird kid"

He shook his head and headed back to his hotel room and took some rest before doing other things like feeding his pokemon, taking them to the local pokemon center for their health check-up as they are still young.

He then let them play around and fed them delicious street food because they won't be able to eat them when they are on the road.

After everything was done Julian went straight to his hotel room and fell asleep, tomorrow he has to leave this city and head towards Castelia city for his next gym battle, for now, he is ok with his team and is not in a hurry to catch any new one but if he encounters any special pokemon then he might catch it.

Next morning Julian woke up early and did his morning routine, after checking out of the hotel he took out his bike and rode towards the exit to meet Yesh, it is still early in the morning but Julian didn't have to wait at all because Yesh is already waiting for him.

Julian stopped right in front of him and signaled him to hop on, Yesh has never traveled in a motorbike before so he carefully got up on the seat and held on tightly to the small handlebars on the side.

Julian "Grab on tight as I will be sending it"

Julian said and turned the accelerator at max as the bike took off at extreme speed doing a wheelie and this is the first time Yesh showed some concern on his face, too bad Julian couldn't see it because he is riding the bike.
