Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 668
Advertisement
Before leaving the city Julian made his way towards a clothing shop to buy something new, his clothing style has been the biggest problem for him now, people are now staring at everyone who wears a black coat and mask together.
Some of them get chased down by Julian's fans because they think it is Julian until they see that they were wrong and it is just another person wearing a black coat and mask.
Julian pitied these people but he cannot do anything, he just hopes that people stop chasing anyone wearing a black coat and mask as soon as they see them on the street.
He made his way towards an expensive shop, not because he has too much money but they have fewer customers compared to a local shop and these people mind their own business, once Julian entered the shop he looked around for something similar to his dress but couldn't find one, at the end of the day he had to go with a red leather jacket and jeans, he bought a bunch of different color t-shirts as well so people don't notice his new clothing style as well.
As a premium shop, the seller didn't bother Julian much and he left quickly while putting on his new dress, just as he expected many didn't notice him with the current clothes he is wearing now so he walked out of the shopping center and went back to the hotel.
Yesh has already finished packing his stuff and is ready to leave as well. Since they have nothing to do, they left Castelia city.
Now Julian has to choose a city to visit, unlike before where the road was just a straight line, Castelia city has many exit points and each road lead to different cities and parts of Unova, Julian takes out his phone to check on the map and see which is the best place to visit next.

After looking for a while he decided to head towards Nimbasa city, the most populous city in Unova, it is also the heart of business and economy of the Unova region.
Nimbasa city is also known for their massive entertainment industry, most people who want to be a tv star in Unova come to Nimbasa city to start their career, Julian once heard from Chloe that she came here to shoot a movie as well.
Julian looked further into the city and found that this city has many interesting things to offer, massive stadiums and small courts for sports, there are also Battle Institute and amusement parks as well.
From the looks of it, Nimbasa City is one of the biggest city Julian will ever visit, knowing his destination he asked Yesh to hold on tight and he twisted the throttle on his bike which caused the front wheels to lift up in the air performing a wheelie which caused Yesh to exclaim in fear and held on tightly to Julian.
Before Julian can reach Nimbasa city he has to go through the desert first and Julian knows how tough it is to cross a desert, luckily for them, there seems to be a desert resort halfway through the desert so they won't have to sleep on top of the desert sand for weeks.
Julian also plans to catch some pokemons during their way towards Nimbasa city, he saw that there are sightings of some rare pokemons in the desert, maybe he will get lucky and encounter some.
Yesh also plans to catch some pokemons as well as his current team only consist of three pokemons, Mawile, Croagunk, and Drilbur.
He needs some new pokemons to build up his team properly before he can participate in the league.
Julian and Yesh soon exited Castelia city and headed towards the desert road, the first half of the road was quite normal but they soon started to feel the changes in the surrounding, the air was much dryer and dust was blowing around quite often.

Soon the road started to get bumpy and slippery due to the gravel and sand on the road, luckily the off-road tiers were quite handy and Julian has experience riding on sandy surfaces.
Riding through a desert is a lot harder, for Julian it is not a big deal but for Yesh, it is, he has to constantly keep his body hydrated and drink water, after riding for half a day Julian decided to stop and set up a camp.
He could tell that a sandstorm might come so it is better to set up a camp rather than continuing the journey forward, the day will soon come to an end as well so its better to camp now, after finding a place to camp, Julian asked Yesh to set down two tents.
After Yesh was done he doubled checked them if they are sturdy or not as sand storms can get very nasty and blow it off, after double-checking and confirming that everything is good Julian set up some bowls for his pokemon to eat.
After the sand storm, it would not be idle for eating and the temperature around the dessert will get very cold which is not idle for Yesh and some pokemons.
Calling it a day Julian headed back to his tent and sent Yesh to his, just like he predicted the sand storm came and tried to blow off the tent but it was not able to, as the sand storm ended the shape of the desert changed again and the temperature dropped down to -4 degrees.
In this freezing cold night, Julian sent out Infernape to heat up the area so Yesh doesn't freeze inside his tent since Yesh is traveling with him, it is his responsibility to take care of him.

System Change
Years ago, Earth was indoctrinated into the "System." Earth was not the only place with the System, however. With the System came the other races, Invaders. The Invaders had one goal, to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. This created a bloodbath, and for years the war raged. This didn't really have much to do with Derek. Derek was kind of a loner. Yeah, he enjoyed the occasional chat or drink with others, but he never stayed in one place too long or really got to know anybody new. Derek did happen to be rather strong. After the years of fighting monster and Invaders alone, he had become quite adept at surviving. One thing that helped keep him alive was his refusal to get involved with others. He rarely cooperated with teams. One day, Derek broke his rules and decided to lend some help, as the mission didn't seem too hard. He should have stuck to being alone. Hey everyone, this is my fiction, "System Change." It's the first time I've really tried to write a serial. All feedback is really appreciated. I plan to release chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. With occasional extra chapters being released. I will try to maintain a word count between 1500-2500 words per chapter. Thank you! I just made a Discord if anyone wants to join.

Zeroth Knight
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities. But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed. Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will. This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting. Arc two will be out in a reasonable timeframe. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27010/escape-the-knight I am will continue updating older chapters to make them flow better, and to just be more structurally sound. Follow me at: https://twitter.com/ozefen0 Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR

Harem Tag: There will be a harem for sure, I just don't know how many guys will be in nor what species of person any other than two will be. Slice-of-Life and Adventure: this story will have periods of slice-of-life and periods of adventure, so it's technically fitting into both genres.

For anyone unfortunate enough to be born outside of these paradises, they can undergo the Gilding Trials. A dangerous competition that can earn the winners a better life. Amber had always considered this a scam at worst, or a pipe dream at best. Fully believing that there would be no way the elite in the city of Aurum would let outsiders join. Despite her worries, her wife’s fatal injuries reveal a grim reality: there is only one place for her to get the care she needs. Aurum. And the only way to get in is to sign up for the Gilding Trials.

Earth Exodus
Elliot isn't the first one taken, he was the last, or one of them at least. Careless divines, gods, or higher powers had been snatching humans through numerous means over the years. Those that returned brought minor tokens of their previous power if anything at all. Over time unrestrained magic became commonplace on earth. Which must have brought attention to us. The earth is ravaged by increasing levels of rogue magics, divines, and a war over resources and experience. Eventually resulting in a mass exodus of the remaining powerless humans by a coalition of gods.Now translocated to Vauthia where everyone has been given a path to power. They're met with an unfortunate reality. They've only been rescued from one dying world to be tasked with saving the new one. While at the same time they're apparently supposed to compete with one another. Meanwhile Elliot wasn't just given a path to power. He was given a choice. The opportunity for true power is offered. When as he reaches for it the power isn't all it's cracked up to be.Systemless in a world where everyone else has access to one Elliot must grapple with a multitude of problems from without and within. The 'gods' might actually be incompetent, uncaring, downright malicious, or all three. His power is constantly three steps behind those who chose the quick path to power. There's also the antisocial tendencies he's brought with him from earth. Can he trust the 'god' who seems to be taking him under their wing? Will he be able to catch up to his fellow earthlings who're ever increasing in power? Is it possible he may just break out of his shell along the way?*** What to expect ***The initial start will be quite slow, building the setting, history, and individuals involved. There is a small bit of progression in these early chapters for the MC, but more along the lines of figuring out how their systemless power works. though once the story gains traction it won't stop.*** Don't tell Elliot, but ***Elliot hates to admit it but he's very clearly antisocial. Not to mention troubles with thinking that stem from several un-diagnosed disorders he'd rather believe don't exist.*** Image Copyright *** //In this satellite image released by Copernicus Sentinel imagery, 2020 twitter page dated Dec. 31, 2019, shows wildfires burning across Australia.
