Journey Towards Greatness

Julian took the same route he used to get to Nuvema Town, his current destination is Striaton City as its the closest city and it also has a pokemon Gym but before that Julian needs to catch too more pokemons before he can challenge the gym.

He has his Darumaka who needs training and no one else, using any of this older pokemon is just cheating so he didn't even bother.

He needs to catch new pokemons. When he came through this route before he didn't find any pokemon that caught his eye but he was not trying to find one but now he needs to find some so he decided to camp inside the forest and explore.

It's been months since he camped inside a forest, as he explored the jungle that lies between Nuvema Town and Acc.u.mula Town he found the same pokemons one after the other but nothing that caught his eye, he decided to go deeper but no success, every pokemon he encountered were quite normal in his eyes.

Even though they are all new species of pokemons to Julian they just caught his curiosity but he soon lost interest in them, sometimes he would feet them and send them away, that is all he did during his stay in the forest.

Even though he missed camping outside in the forest he now wanted a soft bed to sleep on.

It is another day inside the forest, Julian is currently training his Darumaka how to use his round body for his advantage, having a round body was really a good thing, it could help them dispel energy easily, it also helped them move around easily if they master the art of rolling.

Since Darumaka's hands and legs are so small compared to his round body this was the best way to move during a battle.

When he is not in a battle he could wobble between his legs and walk as he liked but during a battle, one needs to be very fast if their defense is not high and Darumaka has no defense right now, he is just a powerful attacker, he needs some speed and movement techniques before he is ready for battle.

Julian thought Darumaka how to use his hands and legs while he is rolling around to make sharp turns and jump up, after two days of training Darumaka finally learned how to move during a battle, he let Darumaka battle with Victini, Victini didn't use its full power, it just used tackle and dodge so Darumaka can understand how a battle really works.

After training was over Julian fed them their lunch and then decided to leave, this forest didn't have any pokemon that caught his interest, after packing up everything he started to walk towards the road.

After walking for a while Darumaka suddenly came out of his Pokeball and started to look around, Julian sighed, this Darumaka was too much, he always wanted to explore, he would come out of his Pokeball for no reason.

Even during the night he would come out of his pokemon while sleeping and sleepwalk, Julian felt troubled by this little one, this is the first time Julian encountered such a trouble maker, even Gengar and Crystal didn't bother him this much compared to Darumaka who has been with him only for a few days.

Julian "Darumaka, walk straight"

Julian ordered.

At least Darumaka listened to him, seeing where Julian is pointing at, Darumaka started to walk towards that direction, since Darumaka liked to be outside he couldn't force him inside his Pokeball.

As Darumaka made his way towards the road something happened, as he got right below a tree something fell down and crashed on top of Darumaka's head causing him to roll back.

Darumaka ended up in his back, he tried to get back to his feet by moving his hands and legs to tool back up, he successfully got to his feet and looked at the thing that fell on top of his head angrily.

Julian also looked at this pokemon curiously, it is a blue pokemon with a yellow belly and two tiny teeth inside its mouth, it also had small hands and legs.

To Julian, it looked like a seed that could hang on a branch, Julian recognized this pokemon, it's a Karrablast, Julian carefully observed this pokemon.

He finally found a potential candidate for his pokemon team but there is a problem, it's a Bug-type and Julian has never trained a bug type pokemon till now, this could be challenging or very easy.

He noticed his Darumaka is really pissed and his now shouting at the Karrablast.

Julian took out his phone and searched for Karrablast on the internet, he didn't know what this pokemon evolved into, his search result soon came and he was surprised to see the result, this little bug can evolve in a very strong physical attacker, it evolves into Escavalier, not only does this pokemon know for their powerful Physical attacks but they also have very strong Defense and Special Defense, the only drawback was there speed, they are very slow.

This pokemon is a real tank, on that hits hard and can take hard hits, a perfect pokemon to have, Julian decided to catch it, it will be a challenge to raise a Bug-type pokemon for the first time but he is ready to take on this challenge, he also heard that it is very easy to rise bug type pokemons so Julian felt a little relieved.

Julian "Darumaka, this will be your first battle are you ready?"

He asked Darumaka.

Darumaka looked at Julian and nodded his head and in the process, he suddenly tumbled down on his belly which is really embarrassing, seeing Darumaka go down like that Karrablast started to laugh and mock Darumaka.

This pissed him off, he moved his body up and down and got back to his legs, ready to battle.
