Journey Towards Greatness 463 The Last Gym Badge

Things took a huge turn, the first three battle, it was clearly in Julian's win as he dominated it, but the fourth exchange was different, his Electivire was about to land many hits and took a lot of heavy damage from his own moves and Togekiss as well but things changed all of a sudden.

Rain dance ended and Togekiss burned Electivire, being a Fairy/Flying-type most people would expect Togekiss to have a fairy or a fire type move as its finisher but Julian's Togekiss used Fire Blast along with Sunny Day, no matter which pokemon stood in front of it will get destroyed.

Well his Electivire was still able to hold up, first, he got hit by a powered-up Flamethrower and it managed to land a burn effect, then his Electivire got hit by a Solar Beam instantly as Sunny Day helped charged it up instantly, the Solar Beam did a lot of damage but Electivire still stood but, the final call was the Fire Blast, one of the most powerful Fire-Type moves and with Sunny Day, it's damaging capacity doubled, when it hit Electivire, it left him in a very bad state, no pokemon could survive the Solar Beam let alone an amplified Fire Blast but Electivire stood there on the last surge of adrenaline he had in his body but that too was taken down after the surge of burn bursting around Electivire and finally putting him down.

The battle is over and Togekiss won.

Even the Proprietor is surprised by this, he didn't expect Volkner to be defeated like this, it was all over.

Proprietor "Electivire is unable to battle, Togekiss wins, the winner of this battle is the challenger"

He gave his final verdict and the battle came to an end, Julian won his last and final badge, qualifying him to partic.i.p.ate in the Sinnoh League.

Volkner finally excepted the result and called his Electivire back to his Pokeball.

Volkner "That was a hard-fought battle but I expect no less from the greatest trainer in the current generation, Sir Julian"

Volkner said and smiled.

Julian "Oh, when did you realize?"

Julian asked as he took off his mask, he had nothing to hide now as Volkner seems to have found his ident.i.ty.

Volkner "Just right now, I wondered who could command pokemon like this? There are only a few in the world, I also knew that the Julian is in Sinnoh right now, and everyone knows you like going around challenging gyms, so I suspected it might be you"

He said and chuckled.

Well, he is frustrated that he lost but at the same time had a good feeling, not many could say they put one of Julian's pokemon in a tough condition as he did.

Julian "I see, well it's very easy to guess it was me from the start"

He said and smiled.

Volkner "Well, I could have but the battle was too intense for me to think about anything else"

He said and walked towards Julian, he then took out a badge, its a yellow badge with two horns that are faced downwards, its the Beacon badge.

He handed it to Julian, Julian took the badge and put it away in his case.

Volkner "What do you plan to do now?"

He asked.

He is curious about the life of the man said to be the strongest champion in the current generation, no one has ever come close to him, what is the life of a person who has already reached the top of what Volkner has dreamt of.

Julian "Nothing much, the same old usual stuff, my pokemon still have a lot to do before they are fully able to take care of themselves on their own and for that, they need a lot of training"

Julian said with a smile on his face

Volkner "I see, I won't be wasting your time than"

Julian "I will be leaving"

Saying so Julian left the gym after sending Togekiss back to her pokemon and with the last badge with him, he has conquered all the gyms in Sinnoh and now he needs to train his pokemon more, get them ready for the bigger event that is about to take place.

He returned to his hotel room and rested for the day, the next morning he woke up early and started to train his pokemons, now their h.e.l.l training started, every one of Julian's pokemon has gone through this, but this h.e.l.l training only starts when Julian feels that they are ready for it.

h.e.l.l training started, it is way tougher than ever, even Crystal was not excused from this, Julian put Crystal in the same training as others.

Its cute eyes didn't affect Julian no matter how many times it tried, but Julian is not so cruel to his pokemons, after their h.e.l.l training they are taken to the spa, given healthy food filled with protein and other helpful vitamins to build up their strength.
