Bab 98: I Am Quite Early
Julian is on his way towards Rustboro city but to reach there he has to travel through a thick forest filled with wild pokemons, he is currently riding through the forest in his bike when he suddenly noticed something ahead of him.
The area in front of him was completely dark even though the sun was high in the sky and the other area around the forest was quite bright.
Julian 'What could this be?"
Julian stopped his bike and got off of it and walked towards the dark area when he got near he felt ghost energy coming from there.
Julian 'Is this the work of a ghost type pokemon?'
Julian sent out Gengar as he didn't want to take any chances.
Julian "Gengar look into it and tell me what is going on"
Gengar nodded and went into the dark area and disappeared, Julian stood there as he waited for Gengar to come out, after waiting for five minutes he suddenly noticed the changes in the dark area the, it looked like it was fading.
Julian 'What is Gengar up to?'
Just he was about to enter to check for himself he noticed two shadows bolting out of the area, one was Gengar who is chasing and another is Dusknoir also a Ghost-type Pokemon.
Julian looked at the fleeing Dusknoir and figured out that it was the culprit behind this area going dark.
Julian 'It must have made it hideout here and trying to find some spirits around here'
Gengar soon came back as he was laughing, Julian knew Gengar gave that Dusknoir a hard time, he sent him back to his Pokeball and continued his way towards Rustboro city.
Julian spent most of his day riding through the forest and when the day was about to end he finally saw the end of the forest and was greeted by the site of a big city which was lit with lights everywhere and the main attraction was a tall tower right in the middle of the city.
Julian "I have finally arrived after riding through the thick forest for so long"
Julian hit the accelerator and rode off with full speed towards the city.
Julian 'If I am not wrong the Devon Corporation's headquarters is also here in Rustboro city'
Devon Corporation is one of the biggest companies here in Hoenn that make different products for the trainers.
Julian entered the city and quickly went into a hotel to call it a day, next morning Julian woke up a little late.
Julian 'Its 10 am I should visit some places around before challenging the gym here'
Julian got ready and headed out to take a look at the city's sites, he visited the tallest tower in the city, then he went to the Devon Corporation to check out how do they make products for the trainers like navigators, digital wrist watches and many useful things a trainer might need while he is traveling.
After completing his tour around the corporation he decided to visit the Pokemon Trainer's School when he reached there he was greeted by an old man wearing a butler outfit as he started to show around Julian around the place.
Julian was currently looking at a battle between two amateur trainers in the school when he heard a siren going out, then he heard a bang sound.
Julian 'Hmm, what's going on?'
Julian walked out of the battle classroom and went towards the source of the sound when he reached there he saw a big Wurmple robot with the three team-rocket idiots inside, he also saw Ash, May, Max and Brock with Roxanne the gym leader and few kids in front of it.
Julian 'What the heck, why are Ash and his gang still here I thought he should have already defeated the gym leader and went to another city, looks like I am quite early'
Julian had started his journey a little slower than Ash so that he won't bump into him that much but it looks like his calculation were not on the mark this time.
Julian 'Well I can't do anything now except wait and see what happens'
Julian just stood there as he watched how pathetic team rocket really was, as they got beat up by little kids who had no experience when it came to pokemon battle, Roxanne finished the battle with her Geodude by using a Roll Out.
Julian 'A fast and powerful Roll Out, impressive'
Julian was impressed by the power behind Roxanne's Geodude Roll Out, he saw team rocket sent flying, as he had nothing to do he decided to leave and challenge the Gym tomorrow after Ash finishes his battle, Julian turned around and left.
Brock who was also there noticed Julian but he didn't see him completely as Julian had already turned around and left.
Brock "Hmm, is that Julian?"
Ash "Julian? where?"
Ash looked left and right but couldn't find Julian at all.
Brock "It must have been my imagination"
Ash "Ah I see"
Max "Who is Julian"
Ash "A friend of ours"
Max "I see"
They also went their separate ways as Ash needed to prepare for his battle against Roxanne.
