Journey Towards Greatness

Julian "You can leave now"

Julian said. He needs to talk to the league about Sasha's case and see how much they are willing to help him, Sasha nodded her head and walked away while looking at Julian, she is a little disappointed as nothing really happened between them but she cannot force it.

She walked out of the room and took a long breath of relief, being in front of Julian was very taxing to her mental health as she was constantly under the pressure of keeping a good face in front of him.

Julian continued to eat his dinner and decided to call it a day after feeding his pokemons.

A new day and Julian is getting ready to head out, he wants to watch the battle between Caitlin and Shauntal, this is going to be a big one, this battle might just decide if Shauntal can take over Caitlin's position or will Caitlin put another win on her record and make her standing till relevant in public.

Even though these numbers in their record don't seem that important but they actually are very important, with more popularity comes more money, being in the number one position means product related to their names gets sold more and a percentage of that profit goes to the Elite Four members.

This is another way the Elite Four make their money, even though the league pays them a lot, it might still not be enough and they get approached by many companies to endorse their products, being number one will bring them more fans and these fans will buy more products.

Even though Elite Four is not as famous as Champions they still have a lot of fans all around the world, even Julian had gone through this process, the reason his company became so successful is because of his image and reputation and the more league he won, the more fans he got and more people wanted to buy stuff related to Julian.

Julian could imagine one of his fans going all out and buying anything that has the name Julian on it, from wall posters to underwear, they would even buy the fake one who illegally makes them profit from Julian's name.

Well, it is true, some of his fans do so, they are the same as some hardcore weebs who decorate their whole room only with things related to Julian.

This battle between Caitlin and Shauntal is also very big as the one who looses will not have much effect but the winner might get a big check on their name because many companies will come forward to sponsor them and endorse their products.

No matter how much these big people say that money doesn't matter in their life, they know it does and they will always welcome extra money, with more money they will be able to continue living their current lifestyle.

It is same for Julian as well, in his previous life money was a very important matter to Julian as he was not that rich, he raised his adopted son singlehandedly and the latter half of his life was lived on the pension given by the government, during that time money was the most important thing in Julian's life.

But now things are different, Julian is so rich that even he doesn't know how much money he currently has in his bank account, the more money he got the more he found himself not caring about it anymore but that didn't mean he would not welcome extra money that is coming his way.

He quickly found the venue that this battle is being held, he saw many people entering the massive stadium, the stadium has been fully decorated with lights and posters of Caitlin and Shauntal and their pokemons.

It looks like they are spending a lot to promote this battle, Julian didn't notice about this because he was first in the Black city then he spent a whole week inside forest and camping on his way to Undella town, this is a big battle and this doesn't seem to be the only one as well.

There will be four battles between the Elite Fours and this battle is to determine the ranking for the upcoming league, while the Champion has the highest rank, someone needs to be right behind him in rankings.

So at the end of the league, the person who is rank two will get a chance to challenge the champion for his position if they are able to defeat the winner of the league.

Julian has already changed his attire and put on his blue jacket and a black beanie hat covering his head and a pair of sunglasses as well, as Julian walked past some people he heard his name being spoken.

He realized that many people are expecting Julian to come here and check out the battle between the two elite fours as he has been seen in these type of occasions before, even if it's just a rumor people are here to find Julian and even if they don't find him they will still be able to witness a good battle between two powerful trainers.
