Journey Towards Greatness

Julian arrived in front of Battle Chateau and he was surprised by how grand it looked, it looked like this place belonged to some royal family back in the past, the Chateau looked like a palace built for a king, the palace is massive and the land that it is situated on is over half a kilometer in size.

He has never seen such a massive palace ever in his life, Kalos is known for its magnificent ancient history so Julian expects to see more of these magnificent structures all around Kalos. ​​

Without wasting any more time, he walked towards the Chateau, as he entered through the massive gate and walked towards the main door he was greeted by an old man and a lady in a maid outfit

"Welcome guest, My name is Turner and I am the head of the house and my title is Duke, I hope you enjoy your stay here"

The old man said.

Julian carefully looked at the old man, the old man is wearing a very expensive suit and wearing a monocle, but what interested Julian was not his expensive clothing but his title of Duke.

Julian "A Duke?"

Julian questioned.

Turner "Yes, my ancestors were part of the royal family, this palace was passed down from them to me, making me a duke but I decided to use the palace in a different way and created the Battle Chateau"

Duke Turner explained.

Julian "So how do the Battle Chateau work?"

Julian asked as he is curious.

Turner "Why don't we go inside, I will explain to you on the way"

Turner said and guided Julian into the Chateau, Julian followed Turner and the maid into the Chateau and as soon as they entered, Turner started to speak.

Turner "When I was young I was a huge pokemon battle fan but I also loved reading history and about the great warriors and trainers who used to live in the past, I was intrigued by their ways of battling and how they got their titles.

I wanted to replicate that so I made this palace the Battle Chateau"

Julian "I see, so how does it work?"

Turner "Trainers who come and battle in the Battle Chateau will be given the title of Baron or Baronness when they win their first battle, as the trainers battle more and more, they will keep advancing through the rankings"

Julian "What is the highest rank?"

Julian asked.

Turner "The highest title is of the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess"

Julian "And how many Grand Duke and Duchess are there?"

Turner "There is only one Grand Duchess, it's Grand Duchess Diantha"

Turner answered.

Julian "Oh, it looks like getting the title of the Grand Duke will be hard"

Julian said with a smile.

Turner "Indeed, the title can only be achieved by defeating every trainer in the Battle Chateau"

Julian "So if I want the title, I will have to defeat every trainer along with Grand Duchess Diantha to earn the title of Grand Duke"

Turner "Yes, but none of the trainers in the Battle Chateau have been able to do that"

Julian "What about the rest, how many other trainers are there in the Battle Chateau?"

Turner "Many people come to participate in Chateau but many don't advance through their ranking as they need to win their battles without losing, once they lose their score will be set back to zero"

Julian "So how many battles to advance through each stage?"

Turner "Win your first battle to become a Baron. Win five battles and advance to Viscount. Win twenty battles to become an Earl. Win forty battles to become a Marquis. Win 140 battles to become a Duke. Then you can challenge the Grand Duchess and if you win against her, you will become a Grand Duke"

Julian "So if I become a Grand Duke, what are the benefits?"

Julian asked.

Turner "If you do become a Grand Duke, you will, of course, get fame and money but you will also get a comet shard"

Hearing this, Julian was surprised, a comet shard is very expensive, it costs millions of dollars, people who collect them go crazy, and with so little of them on demand, people go to great lengths to get them.

Julian learned that a comet shard was even sold in an auction for a billion dollars, though the comet shard was bigger than anything that entered the market, even a small one could fetch a billion dollars in the future, the older the shard, the more expensive it is.

Julian was now really interested in this, a billion-dollar is a billion-dollar, converting it into a liquid fund will be great, most of Julian asset is on stocks, having liquid assets is always better.

Turner "So will you participate?"

Turner asked.

Julian "Sure why not"

Turner "That fantastic, you can register with your trainer ID"

Julian didn't make them wait and gave his trainer ID, Turner took the Id and took a look at it and was surprised by reading the name and seeing the photo on it, he couldn't process his thoughts for a second before calming down.

Turner "What an unexpected surprise"

He said and looked at the man in the mask.
