Chapter 819: Current Team Status
Now that the problem in Icirrus city is gone, people have gone back to their usual self, people and pokemons are back on the streets together and enjoying each other's company, Julian walked around the city and looked at it one last time before he goes and challenges the gym leader of Icirrus City.
After taking a look around the town, Julian headed to the forest to train his pokemons for their battle, after training till nightfall, they returned back to the hotel.
Julian is happy with his pokemons progress, his Fraxure is just a step away from evolution, same could be said for Deino as well, both just need a little push to break through and evolve.
He hopes they both will evolve after they battle the gym leader of the Icirrus gym, Julian put all his current thought aside and decided to challenge the gym tomorrow and went to sleep.
The next morning he woke up around 10 AM, got ready, and headed to the Icirrus gym to challenge the gym leader, the gym is located on the northwest side of the city, when he arrived there he noticed the gym, the gym was actually built under a plateau.
As he got closer he noticed a man in his late twenties standing outside the gym, when the man noticed someone approaching the gym, he waited for them to come close.
As Julian appeared in front of him, the man stopped him.
"Sorry but the gym leader won't be battling anyone for a few days"
He said.
Julian "Why?"
Julian asked curiously, the problem of Team Plasma is already solved so the gym leader should be back to his old self and accepting challenges from challengers.
"The Gym leader's pokemons are not in any shape to battle, they are suffering a lot so the gym leader has asked me to not let anyone in"
Julian "Are the injuries really that serious?"
"Gym leader is very strong and could have taken down the Team Plasma on his own for longer if he wanted to but his last challenger was really strong, he injured gym leader's pokemons a lot and they had to be admitted to the pokemon center.
And right after that Team Plasma started to cause trouble as well so he had to battle them with injured pokemons"
Hearing this Julian frowned, another trainer who is merciless at gym leader's pokemons, or is it the same person.
Julian "Do you know who that trainer is?"
He asked.
"I don't know the name if this trainer, but this guy was quite intimidating, he wore an eye patch as well"
He said remembering the image of the trainer that destroyed the gym leader's pokemons.
Hearing the details, Julian realized that this is the same person, the one who battles to hurt a pokemon to the max limit.
Julian didn't like this man and if he meets this man in person, he will show him what it feels like to feel unwanted pain.
Julian then nodded his head and decided to leave, since the gym leader is not accepting any challenges he didn't want to waste his time, he returned to the forest and trained his pokemon.
Once he was in the forest, he released all his pokemons and began to train them one by one, first with Darmanitan, Darmanitan has improved a lot by now, and his wish to cause an explosion has gone up even more.
Since Darmanitan was so into this concept of explosion and to make things burn, Julian decided to look into it, he then found out that fire type pokemons have a very close relation to oxygen than any other pokemons because their source is powered by it.
Julian knows that fire needs oxygen to burn, and he wondered if fire pokemons to collect more oxygen for more fire to burn, after confirming his theory with System, Julian started to guide Darmanitan to collect more oxygen before he fires.
At first both Julian and Darmanitan had no idea how to achieve this, he started off by taking in a massive breath and then blasting the fire, this indeed increased the destruction of the fire, soon Darmanitan realized that he needs more lung power to take in more oxygen.
So he started to go through underwater training, yes a fire pokemon started to do swimming, this was of course done under the careful eyes of Julian's other pokemons.
His Excadrill and Gigalith have improved a lot as well, they have kept their rivalry to themselves and are not bothering others, they constantly have mock battles to improve themselves, they know each other better than themselves, the bond they have made has become very special, Excadrill's power is on sky-high right now. Gigalith's power is also very equal to Excadrill but he also has ridiculous defense on his side
Escavalier, his other physical powerhouse has improved leap and bounds as well and is now the second strongest in Julian's team right after Darmanitan, these two have been friends from the very beginning and are the very first pokemons in Julian's Unova team so they are quite close with each other as well, Escavalier's Defense and Special Defense are also in rising making him one hell of a pokemon to take down.
Archeops after his loss to Golurk also started to train a lot harder and quickly caught up to Golurk, they once again had another mock battle to the end, and this time Archeops came out victorious.
Golurk was on high after winning his battle with Archeops which then became the reason for his loss against Archeops in their second battle, after his defeat Golett also started to train a lot harder.
Fraxure, the one who was shy at first has now become very bold, his power is already off-limits for a pokemon on his level and after his evolution, he will become the strongest pokemon in Julian's Unova team, even surpassing Darmanitan in pure physical damage.
Deino has improved the most in Julian's opinion as he has calmed down a lot and has gotten used to the presence of Julian's pokemon around him, he still isn't close to them but he doesn't mind being around them and playing with them.
And his last pokemon Larvesta, well he is still the little Larvesta with no change in appearance, just that he has gotten a lot bigger now, his flames are even more chaotic and destructive while his speed has increased a lot, a little more and he will turn into a beautiful pokemon with flaming hot wings.
