Journey Towards Greatness

Julian stayed at Petalburg city for a day as he wanted to see the battle between the top trainers of Hoenn, one is a member of the elite four and the other is the champion.

Julian had already booked the ticket online and waited for the day to come, today was the day he walked out of his room and noticed a tall young man wearing a white beret with a cape and a hat walking in front of him, he had teal blue colored hair. ​​

Julian 'I didn't expect that he would stay in the same hotel as I am'

This young man is Wallace the champion of Hoenn, Julian followed right behind him as he covered his head with the hood of his coat, they both entered the lift.

Wallace looked at Julian but couldn't see his face as it was covered with his hood.

Wallace "Which floor?"

Julian "Parking lot"

Wallace also wanted to go to the parking lot so he pressed the button as the lift went down, there was silence inside the life as both of them stayed silent and minded their own business, once they reached parking lot Wallace went out first and took a glance at Julian but he could not see his face properly, he just saw the color of his eyes and black hair in front of his face, Julian didn't stay there for long and rode off in his bike.

Wallace "Hmm, Have I seen him somewhere?"

Wallace wondered for a second then got in his car and rode off towards the mall where the event was held.

Julian arrived at the mall and saw a huge number of people crowded at the entrance towards the battlefield, Julian didn't have to join them as he booked a VIP ticket so he was lead to a personal room by one of the workers present there, even though the worker was curious who this man was but he didn't get involved as he knew that meddling in rich people business is risky.

Julian took his seat and observed the battlefield and the surroundings, he saw rooms just like his across the battlefield, as he was going through the VIP rooms he noticed few interesting people, one was a slim middle-aged man with red hair wearing a red and black uniform style coat.

Julian 'If I am not wrong he must be the leader of Team Magma but what is he doing here'

Julian continued and saw one more important person, she has blond hairs and very pale white skin, she is one of the members of the elite-four Glacia.

Julian 'Hmm, looks like this event is not a simple exhibition battle, a criminal organization boss, two elite-four members, and a Champion gathered at the same place, what could be the reason for this gathering, did Team Magma find something?'

Julian was indeed curious about this situation but he was not desperate enough to find out what is happening.

Julian 'Well I don't care about what are they doing here, I will just carry on with leaving my life in peace, and its none of my concern I am not from Hoenn anyway'

Julian put this thought at the back of his mind and waited for the battle to begin, soon Wallace and Sidney came forwards and started their battle, it was a one on one battle, Sidney used his Absol and Wallace used his Milotic'

The battle was intense and Julian was really impressed by Wallace's Milotic, she was beautiful but strong and swift as well, at the final moment of the battle Wallace's Milotic beat Sidney's Absol with an Ice Beam and completely freezing it on the spot.

After the battle was over Julian got up from his seat and walked away, as he was leaving the mall he saw few Team Magma grunts walking around the mall, since Julian had nothing else to do for the day he decided to follow one of them.

Julian picked one of the grunts and started following him, the grunt went from one place to another, roaming mindlessly inside the mall, as Julian was walking around he saw few security guards guarding an entrance which led to a dark room, seeing the guards the Team Magma Grunt hid behind a wall and started to talk into his microphone which was planted in his earpiece.

Julian decided to hear his conversation.

Grunt "Boss I found the room where the Orb is kept but there are guards everywhere"

On the other side of the microphone was the leader of Team Magma.

Maxie "Gather the team, it could be a trap but this is a risk worth taking if they really have the Orb"

Julian was surprised by hearing the conversation between them.

Julian 'Are they talking about the Red Orb that could control Groudon'

Julian got curious and used his Omniforce and sent it into the guarded room, where he saw a Red Orb kept right in the middle with lasers surrounding the whole Orb.

Julian 'It looks like an alarm trigger but it's useless'

The Omniforce went past through the laser layer and touched the Orb and examined it.

Julian 'Hahaha, it is indeed fake, looks like they are trying to capture Maxie by baiting him with a fake Orb'

Julian was now really doubting this leader of Team Magma, even though he knew this might be a trap he still came to take a look at it.

Julian 'He is either really stupid or very confident from escaping for them'

Julian decided to wait and watch this, soon he heard a loud boom coming from inside the guarded room, it looks like Team Magma blasted the roof and trying to steal the Orb, soon the alarm went off and the two elite-four members and Wallace came and surrounded Maxie.

Maxie "It really was a trap huh but you cannot catch me, hahahahah"

Suddenly a chopper came flying and released multiple bombshells on the ground, Maxie suddenly pressed a button and he was surrounded by a red forcefield the bombshell landed and blasted causing the whole area to be covered with gas which contained mild poison, feeling hard to breathe all three of them bolted outside as they saw Maxie getting inside the chopper and escaping.

Julian looked at them and couldn't shake his head.

Julian 'What did they expect, did they think that just surrounding him would make him submit, he is a villain character he will use dirty tricks whenever he wants, however, he wants'

Now that the trap failed Julian lost interest and went back to his hotel room.

When he reached his room he opened his phone and looked at the map.

Julian 'The closest city from Petalburg is Rustboro City and it looks like it has a gym as well, then that's decided next destination is Rustboro City'

Julian called it a day and decided to rest.
