Journey Towards Greatness 234 The Finale 2

People flew from other regions just to watch this battle, most of them are die-hard fans of Julian and no matter what happens they couldn't miss his final battle in the Ever Grande Conference.

Posters about the battle are being stuck all over Hoenn and some even in the regions nearby like Kanto and Jhoto.

Ash has also got a lot of attention after his awesome victory over Tyson who was expected to battle Julian in the finals.

Julian stayed out of the limelight as he trained his pokemons for the last battle of the tournament, same could be said for Ash, he is also training hard for this battle, he doesn't want to be like other trainers who didn't give any challenge to Julian.

People are hyped and the talk of the region is this battle that is happening tonight.

All hotels and inns in Ever Grande city are booked, even some rent houses got booked for a day by people who came from other regions.

The Ever Grande city is packed with people and pokemons, all waiting for the sun to fall.

Time pa.s.sed and its 6 PM, people have already gathered around the stadium, it's already packed as no one wanted to miss a seat for today, but people still missed it, they are standing at the end and waiting for the battle to begin.

The choppers are flying up in the sky above the stadium and streaming the live feed before the battle begins, they were not allowed to stream during the battle as the scale of the battle is dangerous so nothing was allowed to fly above the stadium during the except some filming drones which are still restricted to go near the battlefield, they can only be flown around the battlefield no above it.

The league is very conservative as they know Julian's battle can destroy the battlefield and the walls around the stadium if not maintained proper protection.

Many news channels are already hosting about the battle, QnAs are being answered, they talk about strategy and many other aspects that could lead to a good battle.

Pokemon-battles are just like a sport and people love to watch and discuss it.

The league hosted some short shows before the battle begins so that the gathered audience doesn't get bored.

As the pre-shows was over, its time for the main event, it's 6:55 PM and the count down has begun.

Julian is inside the waiting room right now waiting for the announcer to start talking so he can go outside and get this over with, he is calm and eyes closed as he clears his mind.

Ash is on the other side of the waiting room where is he surrounded by his friends.

Brock "Ash you can do this"

Ash "Don't know I am very nervous"

Brock "I know, but you should still put up a great fight"

Ash "I will"

May "All the best"

Max "All the best"

Ash "Thankyou"

Soon a man came in and looked at them.

"Its time, get ready"

Ash nodded and got up.

Same happened in Julian's waiting room, a man informed Julian that he is up next, Julian nodded his head.

Julian "I will be there you can go"

As Julian said this he got up and walked towards the main elevator which will raise him on the battlefield.

As the announcer finished the announcement.

Ash is brought up to the battlefield by the elevator, he stands there and looks the cheering crowd, the lights flashing all around the stadium, the cameras that are focusing on him, but he is not troubled by it at all, he looks into one of the camera and smile.

Ash "Mom can you see me"

He waves his hand at the camera saying hi to his mother who is in Kanto with Professor Oak, watching the TV right now.

Announcer "Now let's welcome the one and only Julian, I seriously have nothing remaining to tell about him, he is still undefeated and now we have to wait if he will still remain undefeated, please welcome Julian"
