Journey Towards Greatness

Now that Julian has defeated Cynthia he can take over the role of the champion but he didn't like always he denied the role of the champion and went back home with Cynthia by his side.

They had a bet and Julian won so now Cynthia has to do whatever he asks her to do and that went on for a few days.

She had to do everything that Julian did, feed his pokemons clean them, watch over them when they are playing and also some fun stuff at night.

Cynthia hated this but she still had to do this because she lost the bet.

Once everything was done it is time for Julian to leave Sinnoh, he cannot bring Cynthia along with him because she has her work and he has his dream to travel the whole world.

After a very heartfelt goodbye to Cynthia Julian went back to Kanto.

Since he owns a massive corporation in his name he still has to do some work.

Sign a lot of stuff and do some meetings, everything cannot be taken care of by Professor Oak and Jimi all alone.

When his plane landed on the main airport of the Kanto region and he walked out of the plane he saw a bunch of reporters waiting for him outside the airport, seeing them Julian just sighed.

He never understood how these people know when he is coming to Kanto and when he is leaving Kanto as they will always be there to greet him and ask a lot of questions.

Luckily Jimi has already sent some people to fetch Julian so he doesn't get caught up between these reporters who are hungry for every information that is related to Julian's personal life.

After his announcement to the world that he and Cynthia are in a relationship the reporters have been chasing him everywhere to get some more stuff out of him.

Julian got inside a black sedan waiting for him outside the airport which directly took him to his house that is in Pallet Town.

Once he got there he went directly towards Professor Oak's laboratory, as he looked at it, he noticed some changes, the laboratory is a lot bigger than he remembered, looks like Professor Oak did some renovation here.

He walked into the laboratory and saw the walls have been reinforced, there are new furniture and a lot of antique vases around the room.

He is surprised to see all this, he suddenly heard footsteps and turn around to see Professor Oak walking in with a bunch of Pokeballs in his hand.

Oak "Oh, Julian you are back, help me here"

He said and passed those pokemon to Julian and sighed in relief.

Oak "These your trainers catch so much pokemon and then forget about them if they are not impressive and they just send them here, now I have to tag all of these pokemon and release them back in the wild"

He said and sighed.

Julian "Ok, then where should I put them?"

Oak "Downstairs, where I keep rest of the pokemons"

Julian then carried all these pokeballs downstairs where the rest of the pokeballs are kept, this room is filled with pokeballs that contain a pokemon inside them.

Some of these pokemons will be released and some of them will be used for observation.

Julian "Don't you have any assistance to take care of these?"

Oak "They are on leave, they will be back in two days, till then I have to deal will all of these things"

Julian "I see that there has been a lot of renovation done to this laboratory"

Oak "Yes, well all that money coming from our company I invested in a lot of things, some went for my research and others for the decoration and expansion of the lab"

Julian placed the pokemons in a compartment and walked out of the lab to see how pokemons, once his pokemons noticed that Julian is back they rushed towards him happily, they are all really glad to see him, same goes for Julian as well as he has not seen some of them for quite a long time, he let his other pokemons out as well so they can meet with their family.

He let his pokemons bond with each other and watched them interact.

He noticed that he has a lot of pokemons now and this number will keep growing and he needs to find a bigger place for them to stay.

He noticed Professor Oak walking towards him with some young baby pokemons they need to be fed.

Oak "Look at them, they were all so small and young, now they are big and powerful"

Julian "Yes, but as my pokemons grow bigger and I have more pokemons in the future, I need a bigger place for them to stay, your pokemon backyard is not going to contain all of them and the rest of the pokemons living here"

Oak "Yes, that is a problem, have you thought of releasing them to the wild?"

Julian "I have but I think its a really bad idea, imagine the world knowing that there are pokemons out there that can destroy cities, many people will try to capture them and turn them, it's better for them to stay in a group where they can look after each other"

He said and felt a sense of urgency.

Julian "Let's think about it later, I need to go to the company, Jimi is expecting me"

He said and left with only Gengar by his side, he let the other pokemon interact with each other, he doesn't want to leave Gengar with them because he knows Gengar cannot be trusted.

Once he got to the company the guard standing in front of the door stood straight and welcomed Julian as he saw him walking towards the company from a mile away.

Julian nodded at him and entered the company, just like the guard the other company employees also had the same reaction as they saw Julian, they didn't see him much because they know Julian likes to travel a lot and seeing him here made their day.

Once he got to Jimi's office he heard Jimi shouting at someone on the phone.

Jimi "Are you an idiot, how much time do I have to tell you, get someone to buy that god damn island, it's just sitting there with no one willing to buy it just because it is not suitable to build a tourist vacation spot? That's bullshit, sell it to someone who has a lot of money, make them think of it as a private island for themselves, do whatever you can or I will fire you"

Saying that Jimi hung up the call frustrated, that is when he heard a knock at his door and noticed that it is Julian.

Jimi "Ahh, Julian you are back, good to see you, I needed you, there is a lot of work to do, a lot of signing, you will be busy for days"

He said and laughed.

Julian "What was that all about?"

He said and signaled at his phone.

Jimi "Ahh, its nothing, I have this private island in my name and nobody wants to buy it because it is not suitable for tourist due to the thick rain forest there and also an active volcano, but nobody wants to buy an island for themselves to use it as a private island, everybody thinks about profit and when they are buying an island it is always about profit, everyone wants to build a tourist stop to earn money, those bastards, things were so the way in the early days, not many people cared about all these stuff but now everyone wants money, whatever they do, they want money from it"

Julian "Ok, stop, stop, I get it"

Julian stopped Jimi from talking any further because he knows if he let Jimi talk even a little more about this matter this will not end and he will continue talking for hours about this matter.

Julian "How about I buy that Island, I really need one"

Hearing Julian, Jimi got surprised.

Jimi "Why do you need an island?"

Julian "For my pokemons, they need a proper place to stay right, they cannot spend their whole life in Professor Oak's backyard"

Jimi "Aaaa, hahahahaha, I get it, then it's settled, the island is yours"

Julian "What's the cost?"

Jimi "Just 900000 Pokedollars, it's a very big a beautiful island"

Julian "Hmm, that's a lot of money"

Jimi "I know but it's for your pokemons right"

Julian 'This bastard when it comes to business there is no friendship in his mind at all'

Julian thought about it for a few seconds.

Julian "Make it 600000"

Jimi "No, no, since you are my friend, how about 850000?"

Julian "Bullshit, 650000, it's a great deal"

Jimi "Come on, 650000 is a little less, let's meet in the middle 750000, come on, this is a very beautiful island and since you are my friend why would I lie"

Julian looked at Jimi and knew he is telling the truth, he thought for a few seconds, hesitated but finally agreed, 750000 poke dollars is decent for a massive island"

After agreeing to buy the island Julian started to discuss more the island, its location and how it looks like, they have only agreed to it verbally so if Julian doesn't like it he can look for another one, Jimi has a lot of private islands in his name, one could be suitable for him.

After seeing the pictures of the island Julian is satisfied, its hundred times bigger than Professor Oak's backyard, it has a clean water source which comes from the waterfall, there is also an active volcano, the perfect place for his Heatran to roam around and it's very close to Pallet Town as well so Professor Oak can visit there once or twice a month to check on his pokemons.

Of course, he won't leave them all alone, he already made plans to build some houses on some flat planes and hire some workers who will feed them and take care of them when Professor Oak is no around.

With everything ready, it was time to start the construction of buildings in the island, Julian spent two months supervision the construction, he made a massive mansion for himself so he can use this island for a vacation escape sometimes.

He also added all the necessary equipment as well which all ran through solar energy, he even bought some speed boats for the workers and caretakers of the mansion who will be working here so they can travel to the mainland and buy stuff.

While hiring he put up a very strict and high bar for whoever wanted to work here, and after finding the perfect staff, he made sure that they will never try to do anything funny by hypnotizing them by the help of Gengar so they will remain loyal to him and his pokemons.

He didn't want to do this but it was necessary, his pokemons are weapons that cannot fall in the wrong hand and he needs to take active measures to ensure that.

The man in charge of the island mansion is in his mid-thirties, his name is Edward and he will be the butler of this mansion, under him are some maids who are in charge of cleaning and other necessary stuff, he also hired an elite pokemon cook and thought him how to cook his pokemons food and how much they should be given to eat.

After three months of hard work, it was finally over, Julian transferred all his pokemons to this island of his, seeing how big their new home his all of his pokemons are happy, his water pokemons loved the massive lake, especially Gyarados as it is connected to the Ocean, he can go and explore the ocean whenever he wants, his grass type pokemon loved the massive forest, his rock type pokemons loved the rocky hills.

Julian even made a special area for his Electric-type pokemons where they can charge up from all the electricity they can generate.

His Heatran loved the Volcano as he could have it all for himself unless Julian catches a new pokemon that lives in volcanoes.

Seeing his pokemon happy made him happy, he spent a lot for his pokemons but he didn't mind it at all, all this money he has, it is for his pokemons and his family.

During these three months Julian also focused on his company and helped Jimi to expand its influence around different regions of the world.

The progress on Professor Kukui's teleportation device also made them excited as it halfway complete before it can be installed in different cities and regions around the world.

With everything done, Julian is ready for his next adventure, Unova.
