Journey Towards Greatness

Julian had to sneak into his hotel just like he left from the back gate, he could see many media reporters hiding with their cameras while he rode past them, after sneaking in he directly went into his room to rest and get ready for tomorrow.

A new day has arrived and Julian is ready for his third gym challenge, his pokemons are fresh and energized for their battle today, Julian gives them their normal morning breakfast before heading out, just like yesterday there seem to be some people waiting for him outside but unlike yesterday there were a lot less in person. ​​

Humans don't like to wait for too much so they must have left after getting annoyed by waiting for so long, he sneaked out from the back door and headed towards the gym to challenge the gym leader, when he got there he noticed something.

There were a lot of people outside the gym waiting to get in, Julian frowned as this is not normal, people don't just barge into a pokemon gym for nothing, something must have happened.

Knowing that he might get in trouble if people see him Julian decided to find a way to sneak in. While trying to avoid people as much as he can, after looking for a while he couldn't find any entry point that would allow him to enter the gym without getting noticed by people.

Since they already know what Julian wears usually, with the signature black coat with a black mask, he can easily stand out, he decided to wait for a while before everyone goes in and then try to find his way in, this way it is much better.

He waited for a while as he watched many people enter the gym, after a while, he saw the last person entering so he soon followed behind, when he entered the gym he could hear the voices of people inside talking to each other.

Julian felt annoyed by this, he walked towards the door which leads to the battlefield and saw the gym's caretaker standing there, this caretaker looks very old, maybe past 80s, Julian approached him and nodded his head.

"Are you also here to watch the battle?"

The caretaker asked.

Julian "What battle?"

"Since the news about Champion Julian being in the city got spread, people around the city are coming daily to the gym to watch him, hoping that they will be able to see him battle, too bad he hasn't shown up yet but the people still get some entertainment coming here, few trainers came here to challenge the gym leader yesterday, you must be a challenger as well right?"

The caretaker asked.

Julian "Yes, I am a challenger"

Julian said.

"Ahh, good, you can go and challenge the gym leader now, there is no one challenging him right now, if you came yesterday you wouldn't have gotten a chance to battle him, poor gym leader he lost two battles in a row against two young trainers"

The caretaker said and sighed, he paused for a few seconds and continued to talk again.

"But don't underestimate the gym leader boy, he is very skilled at what he does, his opponents yesterday were quite strong"

Julian "I will remember that, thank you"

Julian thanked him and walked past him entering the battlefield, as soon as he entered he saw a lot of people inside, most of them are sitting in the audience area as if they are waiting for someone, Julian sighed and walked towards the battlefield to challenge the gym leader of this gym, Burgh, the bug type trainer.

As soon as Julian entered some of them noticed him and seeing what he was wearing they suspected it to be Julian, one of the shouted his name pointing at him, this caused a mass reaction, and everyone in the room looked at him with excitement written all over their face.

Seeing that the man in black is actually heading towards the battlefield most of them believed that it is Julian while some of them were still skeptical because there were a lot of people who tried to just troll others by dressing up like Julian.

The gym leader, on the other hand, was very happy to see all these people in his gym, normal people don't usually come to gyms to watch trainers battle as they have other things to do so having an audience is rare unless there is an event being held.

Julian took his stage and looked at the gym leader who is sitting on a chair close to the audience are looking at him.

Julian "I am here to challenge you"

The gym leader got up after hearing Julian and walked towards the battlefield as well, Julian carefully observed him, this gym leader named Burgh is a very tall and slender man, he has brown curly hair, he wears a green vest with red and black striped pants, he also has a red scarf around his neck.

Burgh "You must be the great Julian, its an honor to meet you"

The man seemed very professional and elegant in his speech.

Julian "Nice to meet you as well, so are we beginning?"

Julian asked. He didn't want to stay here for much longer, he just wants to get out of the city and change his way of dressing, if he continues to wear all black things might get very uncontrollable.
