Journey Towards Greatness 577 The Final Begins

The sound of the crowd cheering gets louder as they wait for the finalist to enter the battlefield, today's battle is the biggest battle the league has ever held and they are a little anxious about it, they don't want anything to go wrong, they have re-enforced the defense of the grand stadium thrice than before as they know there will be ma.s.sive explosions, they even increased the size of the battlefield so the pokemons have more place to roam around.

Ash and Tobias are inside their waiting room, waiting for their call, they can hear the crowd outside cheering loudly and by every second the sound increases, they didn't have to wait long as a man in a black suit came and inform them to stand by.

Ash and Tobias walked in front of a ma.s.sive metal gate that will lead them to the battlefield, as they stand next to the gate, they can feel the energy from the crowd as they shout out their names to support them.

They soon hear the announcer talking and they know that they are minutes away from entering the battlefield.

Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the day you all have been waiting for, today will be the most epic Pokemon battle ever held in the league's history, today's battle will be the most unique pokemon battle in pokemon league's history as it is the first-ever two on one handicap battle between, the undefeated trainer Julian and the two semifinalists of this year's league who ended up in a tie"

The crowd cheered louder as they heard the announcer.

Announcer "The wait is up, its time for POKEMON BATTLE, let's welcome our partic.i.p.ants, first is a trainer from Pallet town, he has a reputation of never giving up, he has partic.i.p.ated in multiple leagues around the regions, he is also the person who faced Julian in the finals of the Ever grande League, it's Ash Ketchum and his partner today is the mysterious trainer who wiped out every opponent in his path in this year's league with his ace Darkrai, its Tobias"

As the announcer said this, the gate that Ash and Tobias are standing behind slowly opened revealing them, they both walked out and waved at the crowd as they cheered for both of them.

Announcer "Next, the one who will be facing off against Ash and Tobias, he has remained undefeated his whole career as a pokemon trainer, never lost a single battle in his life, boasting power and technique like none other, the undefeated Julian"

As the announcer gave his announcement, Ash and Tobias looked at the metallic door on the other side of the battlefield as it slowly opened, behind the white smoke they saw a tall silhouette of a person slowly walking into the battlefield.

The crowd burst into a ma.s.sive roar, his fame overtook everything, the crowd's roar shook the ma.s.sive stadium, his name is being repeated again and again, anyone present in front of the TV who is watching this feel gooseb.u.mps all over their body, this scene was grand, it was as if the ma.s.s was welcoming their king.

Julian walked out and waved his hand at the crowd and took his position and looked at his opponents, for the first time he is having a battle against two powerful trainers in front of a ma.s.sive crowd.

Announcer "Today's battle will decide once and for all if Julian can face the odds and defeat his opponents, he is the one who asked for this, will he show the world what he is capable of or will he fall today, will the teamwork of Ash and Tobias be able to slay the undefeated trainer"

Hearing the words of the announcer Julian wanted to cringe really hard, he hated words like this but he cannot show his emotions right now and he has bigger things to think about.

Julian "I hope you both don't disappoint me, the opponents I face till now were all mediocre, I asked for this battle because I thought it might spice it up a little"

He said and chuckled.

Hearing this Tobias reacted a little but he understood Julian is playing with his emotions, he has seen this many times, most of Julian's opponent fall for this little provocation and lose from the very beginning and if they don't fall for it, Julian will break them down piece by piece during the battle.

In short, Julian is like a villain when it comes to pokemon battle, he will obliterate his opponent's mental state and make them feel weak in front of him but once the battle ends he goes back to normal.

It was his trait, to be the superior in the field, even Julian doesn't know the changes he goes through during the battle, these are very subtle and not many people have noticed but Tobias did.

So he is prepared, he knows if he stops doubting his battling style even for a second he lost this battle, even with Ash by his side he will lose.

And for Ash he has nothing to worry about, he never battled using his brain, he listened to his heart and guts, that is why he was so close to taking down Julian's pokemon in the Ever grande conference.

Tobias "Ash, let's give him the best we can so he doesn't look down on us"

He said and looked at Ash, during these two days Ash and Tobias has become friends as they argued a lot then came to an understanding.

Ash "Yes, we will defeat him and become the champions"

Tobias nodded his head and smiled, he then looked at Julian with fierce and confidant eyes, saying that he is ready to battle.

Julian just smiles and takes out two Pokeb.a.l.l.s from his pouch, he is ready to take on the challenge.
