Advertisement
When Julian wakes up he finds himself alone on the motel's bedroom, he looks at the desk and sees a note left behind, the note said as follow
"Thank you for last night it was the best one I ever had, hope we meet again - Jenny"
Reading the note Julian just shakes his head 'these Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys have a very hard life they cannot have the life of an ordinary person being busy all day'
Julian "I better get ready and go and challenge the gym"
Julian get ready and head out the receptionist sees him and smiles ear to ear, Julian seeing this knows that this receptionist knows that he and Jenny had some good time yesterday, but Julian didn't mind it at all and smiled back at the receptionist and checks out of the motel as he walks out he sees his new bike and creases it with his hand affectionately, he climbs on it and head towards the gym as it being morning there was no show performance so he enters directly as he goes inside he sees three girls in bikini laying on the beach chairs( I don't know what are these chair called ;p) sunbathing from the sunlight which is entering from the rood top, they where of course the three sensational sisters, when these sisters look at this direction to see who was visiting them so early all of them became love-struck by seeing Julian, they immediately got up from their chairs and walk towards him swaying their hips to attract his attention, Julian, on the other hand, was not effected by thier effort as all his previouse life experiance comes in hand and he is no stranger to womens charm , and he didnt mind them showing their sexy side to him as it was still a feast to his eyes seeing befutiful women if front of him displaying their charm.
Daisy "What is the purpose of such a handsome young man to visit us? do you want our autographs?"

Violet "if you are here for autographs we don't do autographs but we can compromise if you spend some time with us"
Lily "Yes we will definitely be happy to be accompanied by such a handsome young man"
They all take their time admiring Julian's appearance and speak to him flirtatiously.
Julian although likes being flirted by girls and vice-versa, he is not a damn pervert who always wants to get inside every woman he meets so he rejects their offer
Julian "I really appreciate your offer but I am not here to get your autographs I am here to challenge you guys to a pokemon battle"
Daisy "Oh, then that's disappointing but we accept your challenge"
Julian hearing this was surprised as they agreed to his challenge very fast, they weren't easy going as in the anime
Julian 'looks like they lost their confidence after being defeated by gray and other trainers from pallet town in the anime, but that incident will take place after one month from now so they are in high spirit'
Julian "That's great my name is Julian so let's start the battle, what are the rules?"
Daisy "You will battle all three of us sisters but each of us will only use one pokemon whereas you can you three pokemons, the first person whos all three pokemons are unable to battle loses"
Julian "That's fair let's start"
Julian goes and stands on his platform and his first opponent is Lily
Lily "Hope you put up a challenge go Goldeen" she throws a Pokeball and a Goldeen comes out of the Pokeball
Julian "Don't worry, Gyarados I choose you"
When Lily hears what pokemon Julian will send she is already startled but when she sees an overgrown red Gyarados she starts to literally sweat but the sweat is suddenly washed by the water which splashed after Gyarados, Daisy and Violet suddenly started to get intimidated by seeing a giant Gyarados

Lily "That Gyarados is huge, this is cheating"
Julian "Cheating? , is there any rule that says not to use a Gyarados in a gym battle?" Julian asks with THAT smile
Lily seeing his smile nearly forgot what she was saying but after seconds she gains her wits back
Lily "No there is no such rule." she says in a low voice as if she was a mosquito
Julian "Ok then lets start"
Lily "Goldeen use Horn attack" Goldeen attacks Gyarados with horn attack but it was no use as Gyarados defense was way bigger than Goldeen's attack
Lily "Impossible"
Julian "Gyarados send Goldeen flying with a tail whip" Gyarados simply waves his tail and sends Goldeen out of the water.
Daisy "Goldeen is unable to battle Gyarados wins"
Violet walks toward the battle stadium and exchanges places with Lily
Violet "I will be your next opponent, go Seaking"
Julian "It's a pleasure"
Violet "Seaking use water pulse"
Julian "Gyarados use water gun and deflect it" as water gun and water pulse clashes under water huge waves are created in the water
Julian "Gyarados now is the chance use headbutt and finish it off"
As the water is still waving madly confusing Seaking she gets suddenly hit by a headbutt and is sent flying.
Violet seeing this could not do anything and only grit her teeth
Daisy "Seaking is not able to battle Gyarados wins"
Daisy "Challenger Julian we don't have any pokemon which is able to defeat your Gyarados so we will admit defeat"
Daisy walks towards Julian and gives him the Cascade badge, Julian simply accepted it has he had also prepared for this event if it occurs as he knew these sisters hated losing in battles so they would directly admit defeat than lose in a pokemon battle that's why they stopped accepting challenges after Gary and other two trainers from pallet town defeated them in anime.
This event was all seen by misty who was at the corner of the gym as she held her hands tightly and now was determined that she will become stronger so that they will not lose again such humiliatingly.
Julian "Then I will be going then, but before that, I will say you this train you pokemons and yourself to become strong so that not any random person can come and defeat you so easily as I did or it will really hurt you little pride that you have" he says that and walks out of the gym.
Back inside the gym, the three sisters are standing silently but something has changed in them due to today's humiliating defeat they have become very determined.
Julian, of course, new this as he purposely planted this seed inside them because he wanted them to become strong and give Gary a good fight, even though he was not really related to Gary he had gotten closer to him in the time they spent together, so this was all so that Gary can gain some experience by having a good battle to start his journey, Julian didn't care about others trainers from pallet town as he has never met them so he didn't care if he had made it harder for them or not.
Julian "Now I have my second badge I think I should go to the Cinnabar island to resurrect the fossil, haha just thinking about the Kabuto and then it evolving into Kabutops gets me excited, Kabutops has a very strong defense and what's scary about them are there speed and attack power, well Kabuto isn't week even its attack and defense are really high and in water I think there are not many pokemons that can match its speed"
Julian hops on his bike and heads of to the near seaport.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Lost in a Dream
Published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! If dreaming is a drug, then I'm a junkie. For most people, sleeping is an obstacle. Something to get out of the way, so they can get back to their life. For others, it's an escape to nothing, a blissful break from the wears of life. It's the opposite for me. I live so that I can dream; I work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world. My real world. After all, what is reality if not the place where dreams don't come true? Can you fight a dragon on your way home from work, or conquer a foreign land to save an oppressed people from their malevolent overlords after vacuuming the living room? Can you visit a land where mountains look like freshly baked phyllo dough, or live in a castle bigger than my apartment complex? Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a mundane life. A birthing place for grander ideas we wish could materialize. I choose to live in a world where they do.

Once you go Wuxxia you never go back. [Not a Parody but moreso a revised wuxxia.]
Robert Nord wakes up from a deep sleep, one he regreted to ever take. Instead of waking up to his well-known, stark, eggshell-white ceiling, atop his luxurious 800€ mattress with down feather duvet and fluffy cushions, he finds himself staring at molden planks of wood, a stench of sweat, blood and iron mellowing in the air. A world of swords that sunder oceans and fists that crack mountainsides. This is a world known throughout the dimensions, a world of wuxxia and xianxia. (This fiction will be parodying many a wuxxia and hopefully do a good job with it. Not only will I try and stress the most ridiculous down-sides of wuxxias but I will also take a shot at making it enjoyable while I'm at it. And don't be fooled by the Lit-RPG tag, after all, every MC needs his secret weapon, regardless how much they try to deny it.)
