Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 8 - First Gym Battle



When Julian wakes up he finds that Nurse Joy is absent, he gets off from his bed and walks towards the bathroom seeing the bathroom empty and her clothes missing he presumes that she left early 'looks like she left early and didn't bother to wake me up, well we both were pretty tired after that extreme last night', Julian gets ready as today he is going to visit the Pewter gym to face off Brock. He leaves his room and sees Nurse Joy at the counter, he walks up to her.

Julian "Good morning Nurse Joy how was your last night?" he asks with a teasing voice ​​

Nurse Joy blushes a little

Joy "It was really good," she says in a low tone

Julian "That's good to hear, then I will be leaving take care," he says and leaves

Joy "Visit me when you get a chance," says by waving her hand

Julian "sure"

Julian walks out of the pokemon center and walks towards the direction of the pokemon gym, he visits few stores to buy some candies for his pokemons and few extra black coats for himself because he doesn't want to wear the same coat every day after a while he arrives in front of the Pewter gym he walks inside to see Brock taking care of his pokemons on the side.

Julian "Hello there I am Julian and I am here to challenge the Pewter gym leader"

Brock "Hello my name is Brock, I am the gym leader of the Pewter gym and I accept your challenge"

Brock "The rules are simple we will each use 2 pokemons, in middle of the battle we cannot switch pokemons, the first person to win both the battles wins"

Julian "Ok I get it, Bulbasaur you are up"

Brock "Bulbasaur, I see a smart choice, go Geodude"

Julian "Bulbasaur use growl" by using growl Geodude's attack power falls down

Brock "Geodude use tackle" Geodude tries to tackle with full force

Julian "Bulbasaur dodge" Bulbasaur dodges it in a blink of an eye

Brock 'that Bulbasaur is really fast' "Geodude use tackle once again"

Julian "Bulbasaur dodge then use razor leaves" Bulbasaur easily dodges then sends a lot of razor leaves towards Geodude

Brock "Geodude quick defense curl" Geodude rolls up into a ball and all the razor leaves hits and bounces off of Geodude

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Brock "Now Geodude rollout" Geodude rolls up and starts spinning and starts attacking madly at Bulbasaur

Julian "Bulbasaur dodge and use razor leaves" but it bounces off after hitting the spinning Geodude 'even though Geodude is slow that rollout is going to become more powerful every time it uses it, razor leaves are just bouncing off of him I have to think of something'

Julian looks and sees that every time Geodude misses he has to uncurl and curl again to relaunch the attack but this process is very fast and he cannot get a perfect time to attack, he looks the surroundings and see that there are huge rocks in the battlefield.

Julian "Bulbasaur go near that huge rock"

Brock "Oh no you don't, Geodude full power rollout"

As Geodude gets closer and closer to Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur stands there waiting for instruction as Geodude's a meter away from Bulbasaur,

Julian "Now Bulbasaur jump up" Bulbasaur jumps at the right time missing Geodude by an inch as Geodude crashes on the rock

Brock "on no"

Julian "Bulbasaur use vine whip and catch Geodude's arms and lift him up in the air" following Julian's instruction Bulbasaur does it and it successful

Brock 'this is bad' "Geodude try to break free" Geodude tries to free itself but Bulbasaur's hold is too strong.

Julian "Now Bulbasaur slams him to the ground until he is unable to fight back" Bulbasaur being very strong only slams Geodude two times on the ground very hard and it faints. (just imagine how hulk smashes Loki in Avengers >_<)

Brock "That Bulbasaur of yours is very strong, Geodude you did great now return and take some rest"

Julian "Great job buddy"

Bulbasaur "bulbaa-bulbasaurr," he says very happily and suddenly he starts to glow and becomes bigger

Brock "its evolving"

As the glowing stops, Bulbasaur evolves into an Ivysaur "Ivysaurrrr" Ivysaur shouts showing his dominance and as usual Ivysaur is bigger than usual

Julian "Great buddy you have become even stronger now"

Ivysaur nods his head happily.

Julian 'System show me Ivysaur's status'

Julian 'looks like growing big has reduced his speed but the other stats have gone really high and it even learned poison powder'

Brock "looks like its going to be hard for me but don't think you have won, come out Onix"

As Onix lands the ground shakes and dust rises in the air

Brock "Onix use rock throw" Onix throw a barrage of huge rocks at Ivysaur

Julian "Ivysaur use the rocks to climb up then use razor leaves" Ivysaur jumps from one rock to another and is finally in the air then followed by lots of razor leaves coming at Onix at high speed, as Onix not having time to defend itself get hit and receives a lot of damage as his head falls on the ground.

Brock "ONIX are you okay?"

Onix then slowly gets up

Brock "Good let's continue, use dig" Onix goes underground leaving Ivysaur vulnerable to sneak attacks as Ivysaur tries to find Onik and looks left and right

Julian "Calm down Ivysaur and feel the ground and search for vibrations and where it coming from"

After hearing Julian he calms down and closes his eyes to feel the vibrations and after few seconds he is able to predict where will Onix come out from, suddenly the ground starts shaking

Julian "Now dodge then use leach seed" as Ivysaur dodges Onix comes out of the ground and seeing its attack fail it tries to go back underground but before it could he is attacked by leach seed which drains 1/8th of his energy and leaves him in a state of paralysis

Julian "Now is the time Ivysaur lets finish this use energy ball" Ivysaur suddenly starts to gather energy from the surroundings and creates a huge green ball and launches it towards Onix.

Brock "ONIX NOOOO"

After getting hit by the energy ball the gym is covered with dust after the dust is cleared we see that Onix has fainted meaning Julian and Ivysaur have won.

Julian "you where awesome Ivysaur we have won our first badge"

Ivysaur "Ivysaurrrrrrr" he jumps happily and runs towards Julian who catches him and pats his head and gives him some pokemon candy for his hard work.

Brock "you did great Onix, get some rest" he sends Onix back to his Pokeball

Brocks walks up to Julian

Brock "Julian you and your pokemon are really strong and have a deep bond with each other no wonder you won the battle, here this is the Boulder badge this is the proof that you defeated me and have earned it" He takes out a silver octagon-shaped badge and gives it to Julian, Julian takes the badge and keeps it inside his badge case.

Julian "then I will be going hope we will see each other soon"

Brock "I also hope that we meet someday again"

As Julian was about to walk out of the Gym

Brock "Wait" hearing the call Julian turns around

Julian "Is there something"

Brock "Yes I have a question?"

Julian "What is it?"

Brock "Why do you smell like Nurse Joy?"

Hearing this question Julian gets dumbfounded and now there is an awkward moment of silence for Julian

Julian "Hahaha, this must be a joke right, how can I smell like nurse Joy, HAHA" Julian tries to escape the conversation but Brock interrupts again

Brock "No I am not joking and I would never lie about anything that is related to Nurse Joy and I know this scent this is definitely Nurse joy's from the pokemon center, I am certain"

Julian 'how does this bastard even do that, even I don't have that much of a powerful sense of smell even though this body was made by God' Julian is out of words and don't know what to say he can not just say that he had sex with Nurse Joy

Julian "It must be because we might have used the same kind of perfume, haha (awkward laugh)"

Brock "Hmm, that might be a possibility"

Julian "See, that definitely the reason ok bye"

Julian doesn't give even a chance for Brock to speak as he runs away from the gym disappearing from Brock's sight.
