The league continued as the top 128 trainers were sorted by the computer to battle each other again, the league conference is being broadcasted to all over the world as many TV-stations and reporters are trying to interview the top trainers in the leader board, the one every reported is after is Julian but he disappears from everyone site before they can even spot him.

Tobias has also become very famous because of his dominant wins over his opponent by just using one pokemon until now and that is his Darkrai. ​​

Soon news started to go around that this trainer called Tobias won every gym battle by just using his Darkrai alone, no one knows which other pokemon Tobias has in his team.

Many even started to believe that he might be stronger than Julian because of how dominant Tobias's wins have been during this league conference.

Of course, when asked about this Tobias would refuse to answer, neither denying the claim or agreeing to it.

This, of course, made people think that Tobias is confident in defeating Julian, while the world is looking at Tobias and saying that he is the next Julian, just like Julian he came as an unknown trainer and ran through the competition with ease as if it was nothing.

But Julian had his eyes on someone else, the 16-year-old who is fifth on the leader board, Julian could clearly see that he has been holding back during the whole competition and the only pokemon he has used is his Spiritomb and Dusknoir, the only reason he is bot being noticed by others is that he is playing the subtle game, he is dragging his battle till the end before delivering the final blow.

Julian is getting excited about this league, the trainers participating are way stronger than the Ever Garden conference and the Indigo League he participated in.

Julian also noticed that Ash and Paul are also dominating the League with only one pokemon per battle, Ash's Pikachu has become way faster than before while the powerhouse of his team seems to be his Infernape, the tank is his Torterra, his Floatzel and Staraptor are also doing very well, all of his pokemons are taking three on one battle and winning.

Same for Paul as well his Electivire is very dominant and most of his opponents aren't even able to put up a fight for a few minutes before getting zapped till they faint, his Ursaring and Magmotar are also very dominant during the battle, but the most brutal pokemon in his team seems to be Drapion as it never showed any mercy to its opponent.

The league conference is getting heated as trainers are now showing their real strength, the have stopped holding back and going all out to advance forward as the level of the trainers they have been facing is getting stronger and stronger.

______________________

The top 128 began with two random trainers and one of them advanced to the top 64, as the first day of the top 128 was about to come to an end Ash is about to battle, he sent out his Pikachu and won the whole battle easily against his opponent as Pikachu destroyed the ground with his ThunderBolt.

The next day Julian's turn came as he faced off against a young woman in her twenties who used Poison-type pokemon, Julian just sent out Garchomp to deal with them and finished the battle under two minutes once again.

By now it was very clear who will be in the top 32 but people were still not sure because the top contender might face each other during the top 64 itself and one of them might get eliminated.

Of course, the organizers of the league couldn't allow this, they wanted all the strongest trainers to battle in the top 32 to they got involved with the sorting process and made sure that the strong trainers won't face each other until they reached the top 32.

Well at the end of the day nobody cared because they will still be able to see two strong trainers battle against each other.

The top 128 ended with the next 64 trainers advancing forward, the Leader Board still didn't change as Julian still stayed on to top followed by Tobias, Paul, and Ash.

________________________

12 days have passed and the league is in the top 64 stages, this will be the final round before the strongest 32 trainers will face off against each other in the grand stadium for the title of the league champion.

The top 64 was just another warm-up for trainers like Julian and Tobias, Julian defeated his opponent by using Lucario under three minutes keeping his streak going.

Tobias also kept his own streak by only using his Darkrai for the whole conference.

They both became one of the top 32 easily, following their steps Ash and Paul also entered the top 32, the young teen in his 16 also entered the top 32 effortlessly, the others who entered the top 32 are Barry, Conway, all of them were in the top ten before.

The person called Nando got eliminated in the top 64 as he faced off against Ash and lost.

On day 16 the top 32 started with Cynthia opening the tournament with an exhibition battle against Aaron which fired up the fans as the saw the Champion battle against the Bug-type Elite Four.

Seeing this battle Julian got impressed by seeing how Aaron battled, training with bug type pokemons is hard because of their weak Defense and Special Defense, one doesn't see many trainers with Bug-type pokemons who have reached Elite-Four level like Aaron showing how much of a capable trainer he is.

After their battle the top 32 started with Julian being the first battle, the crowd cheered for him as his opponent watched Julian coming from the other side with a nervous gaze, he was really lucky coming up to this stage but now he has to face off against one of the strongest, he knew he is going to lose but he decided to give it his all.

After a few minutes, the battle ended with Julian's Togekiss destroyed her opponents.

Julian went into the quarter-finals as he became the first to enter the top 16.
