Journey Towards Greatness

This place was indeed the Lily valley.

Thousand of trainers from Sinnoh and around the world came to participate in this league as Sinnoh league is one of the biggest pokemon league conferences held by the League itself.

The first round started were thousand of trainers were sorted by computers and made to face each other in small battlefields.

Julian\'s first battle was way too easy, the pokemon allowed for each trainer was three, Julian finished the first round under a minute as he one-shot his opponent\'s pokemon with Gliscor even though he didn\'t want to.

Julian battled twice in the first round with a score of 2-0 which directly promoted him to the next stage, just like him many trainers passed the first round, some had 1-1 score and they had to battle one last time before they could be one of the parts of the top 256 trainers in Sinnoh.

The one leading the scoreboard was Julian in the first place who only took less than a minute to finish both of his battles.

Second place went to Tobias who also just used one pokemon to defeat his opponent.

Third place is actually Paul with another stunning won over his opponents with the help of his Electivire.

Fourth place with to Ash who won using his Staraptor and Floatzel, his Buizel seems to have evolved into a powerful pokemon as well.

The fifth-place seems to be held by a young teenager who seems to be around 16 years old and he has a Spiritomb as his partner

Sixth place went to a boy named Conway, Julian has seen this boy before he was the one who participated in the tag battle competition with Dawn and would have almost won if Paul\'s Elekid hadn\'t evolved.

Seventh place went to a young kid named Barry who seems to be 12 years old, he is also the son of Palmer the leader of the Sinnoh Battle Tower, Palmer is one of the strongest trainers in Sinnoh who is not under the League\'s influence unlike the Elite Four and the Champion, the battle tower is a separate entity in the pokemon world.

Eight place belongs to a man named Nando, Julian had seen this man participate in a few pokemon contests and Julian remembered that he was pretty good at commanding his pokemons.

Seeing the top line up Julian could tell this will be a fun league, the top participants looked very strong and he is excited to battle the top three right below him.

He has watched Ash grow stronger and stronger every time he sees him and when he comes to Paul he is a natural talent when it comes to Pokemon training, but the most interesting battle to Julian would be against Tobias as he saw which pokemon Tobias used in his battle, a Darkrai, he thought he would be the only one who would have second rate legendaries in his team but he is wrong, there is someone else in this competition as well

The round went on for four days before finally revealing all the 256 trainers who will advance to the next stage.

The second round began after a day of rest was given to all the 256 participants, Julian didn\'t have to wait long because his first battle was on the first day, first draw.

From now one its elimination rounds, one cannot afford to lose if they want to move forward, the one who was facing Julian is very nervous but also excited to battle him, everyone who wants to battle Julian has only one wish and that is to take down at least one of his pokemon, they would be happy even if they lose and their chances seem very high because Julian is using a new batch of pokemons, not his ridiculous overpowered old team.

Well at the end of the day the match didn\'t even last more than three minutes, Julian sent out Rampardos who just rammed his opponent into pulp until they couldn\'t even move.

Seeing how strong Julian is again the trainers participating felt pressured, seeing Julian\'s battle Ash gritted his teeth as he remembered the last time he fought Julian, he lost terribly even after he Mega Evolved his Charizard into a completely new type of Mega Evolution.

Paul also had the same reaction, he once faced a humiliating defeat in the hands of Julian\'s Electivire who toyed with Paul showing him that Julian\'s Electivire is a better trainer than Paul who is a human.

The only person who is calm right now is Tobias as he believes he is the strongest present here and he believes that he can take down Julian.

The crowd cheered for Julian as he advanced to the top 128.

The League continues for another two days before the remaining 127 trainers advanced, the scoreboard looked the same as before with Julian on top, Tobias on second, Paul on third and Ash in fourth place.
