Journey Towards Greatness

Julian "You Croagunk looks fast, hope you use its speed in the battle or it will be a knockout"

Julian warned Yesh before the battle even started, he wanted to see how Yesh deals with his this time, with his Mawile Yesh had no counter and just got hit by Julian's Darumaka, now that he has a faster pokemon with him Julian wondered how it will affect their mock battle.

Julian "Let's start them, Darumaka use Flame Wheel"Darumaka once again charged at his opponent with a powerful Flame Wheel spinning at very high speed which increased the power behind the Flame Wheel, Yesh observed Darumaka's movement carefully, he had never seen a Darumaka move like this, he also noticed how Darumaka would use his hands and legs when they come in contact with the ground to jump and move direction very fast.

He realized that he can exploit the time it takes for Darumaka to come in contact with the ground with his legs and hands, most of the time it will be using its round body which he cannot use to jump, Yesh found what he needed to do and waited for his opportunity.

His Croagunk stood there and waited for Yesh command patiently, as Darumaka got closer Yesh knew his chance is here.

Yesh "Croagunk, now Brick Break"

As Yesh saw Darumaka's leg touch the ground he made his move, his Croagunk charged at Darumaka with a Brick Break, Darumaka couldn't dodge this as his legs are up in the air along with his hands, Yesh chose the perfect time to attack.

Julian "Use Fire Punch"

Suddenly Julian made his call and Darumaka abandoned the Flame Wheel and put all that power into his Fire Punch, both pokemon clashed with each other but the impact was not big.

As Darumaka was still spinning his knuckles scraped down against Croagunk's fist which caused a lot of pain to Croagunk, it backed down and grabbed onto its hand, Yesh noticed this and for the first time, he displayed an emotion.

It was a surprise, he didn't expect this result at all.

Julian "Very good, you were able to see the hole in my Darumaka's movement but it is very important for a trainer to keep his eye on the opposition trainer as well, you were too focused on my Darumaka. On the other hand, I had my eyes on you, as soon as you did something I had to come up with something and counter it. Now seeing the result, it looks like your Croagunk won't be able to use its right fist for the battle"

Julian continued with his remarks which Yesh took note.

Julian "Remember, every battle is different and you are always facing two opponents, one is the pokemon and the other is the trainer. If you are able to outsmart both of your opponents it will always be your win"

He paused for a second and looked at Yesh Croagunk, he knew that it won't be able to battle properly without its lead hand so Julian decided to call it a day.

Julian "Let's stop here, take your Croagunk to a pokemon center and heal him up, once you are ready, you can challenge the Nacrene gym".

Yesh nodded his head and called his Croagunk back to its Pokeball and left the park to visit a pokemon center, as Julian watched Yesh disappear from his vision he sighed.

He didn't know how to feel about it, this was new to him, he now has a "student" who is not normal, Julian was against the idea at first but he thought that this might become a unique experience which will help him grow further.

Teaching someone is a huge responsibility and he knows it, Yesh doesn't seem like a normal kid so he knows he will have a hard time really connecting with him but it is a new challenge to him.

As Yesh left Julian continued his search for the last trainer who he can give the Drilbur too, it was a burden he quickly wants to get rid of and it looks like it is gonna be very hard.

After a whole day being wasted searching for someone who is good enough for Julian, he returns back with a huge failure, he didn't know where he can find a good trainer, then he suddenly thought of something.

Julian "What if I give the Drilbur to the gym leader of Nacrene gym, even if she doesn't need it she can still find a suitable trainer who can train it."

He said in a low voice and thought about this possibility, it was not a bad idea, the gym leader of Nacrene gym is a veteran pokemon trainer and veteran trainers are not someone a normal trainer can look down upon, they also have a keen eye for talent so this can really be a good move from Julian's side.

Julian "I just hope she excepts this request."

He said and got on top of his bed and fell asleep.
