With the new king in the forest, all the old pokemon got their territories back allowing the wild rouge to gain their home back.

It was time for Julian to leave as well, the training session is over and he needs to go to Pastoria city to challenge the next gym. ​​

He doesn't waste his time and sends all of his pokemon back to their Pokeball and hits the road again on his bike.

Luckily the city is very close to this forest so he didn't have to camp in the forest, he soon arrived at the main road and followed it into the city.

After hours of riding, he finally saw Pastoria city far away.

Julian 'Pastoria city, the only thing in this city is the Great Marsh, I should be able to move out of this city and head back to the west'

Julian thought, he still has to challenge one last gym from the west side of Sinnoh, the gym in Canalave city, it is said that the gym leader of Canalave is very strong, one of the strongest trainers in Sinnoh after the elite four so Julian is excited to see what Byron the gym leader of Canalave gym has for him.

Julian erases the thought of Canalave and focuses on Pastoria as his next battle is with Crasher Wake, known for his aggressive battling style, he would let his pokemons get hit and deliver a more powerful move in return.

Even though the strategy sounds stupid it has worked for his as his pokemons are a powerhouse with high defense stats.

He soon enters the city with his face covered with the cloth mask, its the same as always he sees people and pokemon existing together but it's still different, every city has a different vibe, their culture is very different and their lifestyle as well.

That is why Julian likes traveling, he can experience many different cultures along with his pokemons.

He soon arrived in front of a hotel and walked into and took a room for himself, he told the manager to keep quite about his arrival and went into his room.

He soon took a bath as soon as he entered the room, he had spent three days in the forest without any proper water source.

After getting fresh he sat down in front of the computer to have a quick look at his opponent and see what he has in his arsenal.

He logged into the internet and searched about Crasher Wake, soon a page opened and he found some information on Crasher Wake.

After scrolling down over the page he finds Crasher Wake has three pokemons that he uses to battle challengers, Quagsire, Gyarados and his ace a Floatzel.

Quagsire is his first pokemon with similar attack and defense stats, he sends out Quagsire first every time to test the challenger's strength and weakness while his Gyarados is a powerful physical attacker with strong Special Defense.

His Floatzel is the odd one out in his team, it has a very powerful with high Physical Attack stats but lacks in both Physical and Special Defense, but its speed is also very high making it a high-speed attacker.

Julian didn't understand why would Crasher Wake train his pokemon is speed when his battle strategy is to take direct hits from the opponent.

Julian 'Does his Floatzel know any powerful defensive move?'

He thought and started to search it on the internet but he couldn't find one, he sighed and decided to not care about it.

Julian 'I don't have anything else to do in this city, I should just challenge him today and leave tomorrow, no use of staying here'

Julian thought and closed the computer and walked out of the hotel and headed straight towards the gym, his pokemons have already trained enough so they should be able to put on a good fight.

It doesn't take him long to arrive outside the gym.

From the outside, it looks like a huge stadium, he looks around and finds no one so he walks in, once he enters he sees a girl standing on the receptionist desk.

Girl "Sir, what is the purpose of your visit?"

She asks.

Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader"

He says and looks at her.

Girl "Then please walk in, I will inform the gym leader about this, you will see him on the battlefield"

She says and points towards the direction of the battlefield.

Julian nods and walks towards the direction, as he walks in he sees a large battlefield covered in water, there are some circular disks in the middle of the battlefield for pokemons with feet to run around, this battlefield is well suited for a water type pokemon.

Julian realized why Crasher Wake trained his Floatzel in speed, with water everywhere it would act as a shield, water is known for stopping many attacks.

While his Floatzel will act fast a land heavy attacks with speed while using the water as its shield.

Julian 'Well this will be interesting, let's see how strong his Floatzel really is'

Julian thought and wait for Crasher Wake.
