Just like Julian had expected Crystal soon got bored of playing with the badge and gave it back to him while it went to sleep.

He returned back to his hotel room, now that he has completed what he wanted to do in Hearthome city, it is time to leave and visit the next city. ​​

Julian 'The next city I should visit is Veilstone city, the gym in that city is a fighting-type gym'

He said and went through his team, he has Togetic and Victini who can take down the fighting gym but he wants to battle different this time while he is at a disadvantage.

Julian 'Let's think about it later, I have to get out of this city first'

Julian packed some of his stuff and made some food for the road ahead, he still had some time before he could leave so he sat down and decided to see what's going on in Sinnoh.

He turned on the TV to see the same old TV shows going on, some news talked about him and some reported the happenings around Sinnoh.

As he switched around the channel he stumbled into one talking about the pokemon breading exhibition that is being held in Solaceon Town.

Julian 'Isn't Solaceon town very close to Hearthome, and if I am correct it will fall under the same route that I am taking to Veilstone City, I should go and check it out, I should learn about breading more, I might need the knowledge in future'

Julian needed to learn pokemon breeding as his pokemons will breed someday in the future and for their children to be born in a healthy condition he might need all the knowledge he can have.

After going through other things and seeing nothing much has happened he decides to leave, but before that he looks through his pouch to see if he forgot something, after a few minutes he sighed in relief as he forgot nothing.

While he did go through his pouch he also noticed the Orb he took away from Cyrus.

Julian "I need to get this Orb back to where it belongs, I have to find the right lake from where it came and find a way to place it back there"

He said, got up and left.

While leaving the manager personally guided him outside, Julian thanked him and hopped onto his bike and rode off.

He soon was out of the Hearthome city and back to the wild road of Sinnoh, on the way, he trains his pokemon and let them battle each other in a mock battle.

Julian always keeps a monthly competition between his pokemons to see who improved the most during the month's training, and a little competition between the group always made the little ones to strive for growing stronger than others.

But Julian knew that this might cause fighting between his pokemons but he knows how to handle these conflicts between his pokemons, he always treats them equally so that his pokemons don't get jealous of others in their group.

Today will be the first monthly competition between his little pokemons, Julian will be the referee and his older pokemons will be by the side looking after the little ones so that they don't hurt each other severely.

The seven little ones, Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, Cranidos, Victini, Togetic, and Shinx are excited about this little tournament between themselves.

And Julian also has a price, that is the winner will get whatever they want to eat for a month until the next competition will be held.

Julian "Crystal you are not participating"

Julian knew if he let Crystal battle, it would just spam its friends while changing its typing and defeat them easily, Crystal is very intelligent and it can easily tell what type to change into to defeat its opponents.

Sometimes even Julian is surprised by how intelligent Crystal it, it can solve smile puzzles that are designed for humans, like the Jigsaw.

Crystal looks sad after hearing Julian.

Julian "Come here, Crystal, you always drink your MooMoo milk so you don't need to participate, you sit with Infernape and cheer for your friends"

Julian said and passed a bottle of MooMoo milk to Crystal, Crystal suddenly forgot that it was sad just a second ago and latched on to the bottle, Julian then passed the bottle to Infernape.

Julian "Don't let Crystal wander around alone"

Infernape nodded and joined Gengar and the others in the sideline to watch the mini-competition.

This is a smile competition between the six pokemon, the first round will be a one on one battle between each other, then the three who will advance will have a triple threat between them.

Julian "So are you guys ready?"

He asked the six pokemons in front of him.

All of them nodded excitedly as they are ready to get their hands on the grand prize of the favorite food for a month.

Julian "Ok now, your opponent will be randomly chosen by yourself, here are six pieces of papers and two of each has the exact same number, whoever gets the same numbers will be facing each other understood?"

His six pokemons nodded as they understood what Julian said.

Julian "Ok then"

He said and shuffled the six pieces of paper and put them on the ground so that his pokemons can pick them up.

Julian "Ok, everyone, pick just one"

Julian stood there as he watched his pokemons move forward to pick one.
