บท 231: Top 32 (2)

The day is here, people are going crazy as wild as they cannot wait any longer for the final round to begin, the top 32 are also very nervous, except Julian because he knows no one is the league will defeat him, they might put up a good battle but no way they are going to win against him, he is not overconfident, he just knows because he has analyzed each and every 31 trainers in the league right now.

He saw some good trainers in the bunch and two to three of them were just lucky enough to get in the top 32 because they got weak opponents in the qualifiers, his opponent Stede seems to be a promising trainer and has reached the top 32 with his skills.

Julian is looking forward to how he battles, he noticed that Stede didn't go all out in his battle as well, it looked like he is holding onto something which he might use against him, so Julian is waiting to see what Stede really has up his sleeve.

Chloe and Daisy joined him as they went to the main stadium and decided to watch the other battles, even though he didn't need to, its always better to know who is advancing and who is not.

From what he has seen on the inverted root chart on that huge screen outside the stadium, the person who wins the third battle will battle him next.

Julian sat down with Chloe and Daisy as they watched the battle and ate the snacks that they bought, one battle after the other the third battle has soon arrived, it is between a girl named Emma and a Boy named Noah.

Both of them had a good battle but Julian didn't think much of them, they were one of those who were too lucky and got into the top 32, at the end of the battle Emma won, so she should be battling next with Julian.

Julian "My queue is up, I will be going then"

Julian said and got up, Daisy and Chloe got up and kissed his cheek for some good luck which he doesn't need but he still appreciates the kisses.

After arriving in the waiting room he closed his eyes and cleared his mind as he always does, after a while he got informed that he will be up next in a minute, as he heard the announcer started to announce, he got up and walked towards the machine which would lift them up on the battlefield.

Announcer "It's time for today's main event, this battle is between Stede and the Undefeated Julian, both of them have not lost even a single pokemon during the whole tournament so this will be a battle to watch"

Announcer "Ok enough chit-chat, let's welcome our first trainer, he has traveled around the world and seen pokemons that are completely foreign to us, he has experience in training water type pokemon, let's welcome Stede"

Stede made his way into the Battlefield from underground on and looked around and waved at the people who were shouting in excitement.

Announcer "Now, let's welcome the most favorite to win this year's league, Julian"

Julian also entered the battlefield and looked at Stede.

Stede "Hahaha, I was waiting for this moment for quite a while, my hands are itching to have a battle with you"

Julian "Is that so, let's see what you got for me"

The Referee walked in and started to explain the rules of the battle.

Referee "This is a knock out round, each trainer will use four pokemon each, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the person who's all four pokemon are unable to battle will be eliminated from the tournament"

Referee "Are both trainer's ready?"

Seeing both of them nod in agreement the referee continued.

Referee "Then let the battle continue"

With that, his waved his flag signaling the start of the battle.

Stede "Come out Kingler"

He sent out Kingler as his first pokemon, the Kingler seems huge and powerful, its snapped its claw and made a clinging sound.

Stede "Why don't we have a pure Water-type battle?"

Julian "Well I have only one water type pokemon"

Stede "You were a champion, you should be able to defeat all my pokemons with just one"

Julian "It that a challenge?"

Stede "Why not, you did that in Kanto why not right here and now, don't tell me your Hoenn team is not strong as the one in Kanto?"

Julian "Hahahaha, do you really think these tricks would fool me, but you know what? I would play along with your game, ok I will only use one pokemon, if you defeat my Milotic I will forfeit the tournament"

Julian said as he tossed Milotic's Pokeball up in the air.

Milotic came out of her Pokeball and showed off her beautiful scales which reflected the sunlight off it, she is wearing a golden ring around her tail and it has a Mega Ring in it, it is the same one she found in the underwater cave.

Announcer "Did you all just hear that. Julian said if Stede is able to defeat his Milotic he will forfeit the battle, that means he will be eliminated from the tournament itself."

The crowd took in a deep breath, they didn't expect a battle like this to take place, many of them believed Julian is still going to win but some were skeptical about it, as they had not seen Julian's pokemon go aggressive like before in the Indigo League, he is very defensive in this league.

Stede "Great, that's what I expect from the Strongest Champion"

Julian "Are you ready?"

Stede "Kingler, use Hammer Arm"

Julian "Milotic, let's get this done with, full power Dragon Tail"

As soon as Julian gave the command, Milotic covered herself with water and charged towards Kingler, she is fast.

Kingler didn't even notice before Milotic is already in front of, she does a spin and smash the blue glowing tail of her's on Kingler.

As the attack hits, everything around the stadium get's distorted, the sound of this attack sounded like a clap of thunder as people felt the vibration all over their body.

Before Stede could even process what happened his Kingler was sent flying past him and planted on the wall behind him.

Kingler was knocked out.
