The training session with his new pokemons is going quite well but Julian knew he cannot just train these three pokemons, he has to catch some more.

He decided to go on a search to catch new pokemons, but he didn't want to catch any, he wanted a team that could be very versatile and fit in with his current pokemons. ​​

So he sat down under a tree and went through the whole Pokedex of Sinnoh to find suitable ones for his team, after looking around he finally decided on some but he has to still be lucky to find them.

He then decided to head out to the nearest forest and try to search for pokemons, but he was out of luck, even though he found some pokemons they were not of his interest, his luck wasn't on point today, the night fell and he could find the right one.

Julian sighed.

Julian "Let's head to Oreburgh city. After I win the first badge I will try to find one"

He said and set up a camp for the night.

___________________

Next day he hit the road again, it's been a week since he is on the road, training his pokemons and enjoying the scenery in Sinnoh is satisfying.

To reach Oreburgh city he has to get through the mountains, seeing the huge mountain on his path he sighed as he now as to go round and round.

After finally reaching the top then heading down the deep slope he finally saw the outskirts of the city, the city is in between large mountains, he looked around and saw many mining sites around the city.

Julian "I heard that Oreburgh city is the biggest mining site in Sinnoh and if I am right this is also the place where the fossil pokemons can be found"

Julian's team needed a rock type and he was searching for one, if he could find a skull fossil he would have a very powerful pokemon for his team.

He looked forward to his time in Oreburgh city and headed into the city.

As he entered the city he saw many interesting things, he saw a house made from rocks, they looked so modern yet so old fashioned.

Seeing such intriguing houses around the city, Julian was impressed, he then saw the museum where all the magic happens.

From the information, he got from the internet, this museum has two skull fossil and three armor fossil and he saw rumors floating around that they are soon going to perform a resurrection on both Skull and Armor fossil.

He was excited to see it, no matter how many times he watches a fossil being revived its always exciting, knowing that a pokemon that lived millions of years ago being brought back to life, it's huge, this shows how advanced the technology of this world his compared his older one.

He wanted to visit the museum and check out the fossils but he heard some locals talking about the mining sites and the people working there seems to have found a fossil.

Hearing this Julian didn't waste his time and rode towards the mining site, when he reached there he saw few workers pulling out a huge rock on a cart, Julian carefully looked at the rock and saw it, it had a fossil attacked to it.

The fossil is in the shape of a dome surrounded by small spiky bone-like structures, seeing this fossil Julian is certain that this is a Skull Fossil.

Julian "If I can buy one I would do it for sure"

Julian said.

He was interested in getting a Skull Fossil, due to two reason, one because it's rare and he likes having rare pokemon in his team. Second is because the pokemon that comes out of this fossil has one of the highest know attack power behind its physical move excluding legendary pokemons and some pokemon's Mega Evolution, the pokemon that comes out of this fossil puts some mega evolution pokemons to shame with its sheer Attack power and Julian wants one in his team.

And if he has to pay for it he would do so to get one.

As he was carefully looking at the fossil from far away he saw Ash and his friends also around the mining site, he ran towards the miners and looked at the fossil.

One of the miners is the gym leader of the Oreburgh gym, he is Roark.

Julian listens to their talk and realizes that Ash has come to challenge his gym but there seems to be someone else in the line before Ash who will face him.

Julian 'I might watch the battle, I won't challenge him today, let's first look around and see if I can get my hands on one of the Skull Fossil'

He could go for an Armor fossil and acquire a pokemon that boasts one of the highest defense stats but defense is not his style.

He thought and decided to visit the gym and check out the battle to see how good Roark is, and he also wants to check out his pokemons because Roark has the pokemon that comes from the Skull fossil.

He soon arrived outside the gym and covered his lower face with a cloth mask that he used earlier in Jubilife city, this mask doesn't stand out and is much better than his metal full face mask in public.

He walked in and looked around, then he saw a person who should be the challenger who will go before Ash.
