Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 57
Advertisement
Julian is back to Pallet town again as he is laid back on a chair enjoying the sun near the lake, his pokemons are doing their usual training in form of a game.
Julian 'Such a peaceful day nothing to worry about, no world-threatening pokemon going on a rampage, no stinky little brats who are always on your face, just me and my pokemons chilling, I wish this could go on forever but this will only last for a day as those two brats will arrive and cause trouble'
Julian sighs as he knows his peaceful days are about to come to an end.
The day goes away and the next day arrives, Julian is outside training Elecabuzz so that he gains full control over his powers before he evolves into Electivire, as he continues his training session with his Electabuzz but suddenly he hears a voice coming from behind.
Gary "Brother Julian"
Julian turns around to see Gary who is waving his hand towards him, Julian sighs as he knew from now on he will be troubled daily by this brat.
Julian "Gary, I see that you are back"
Gary "I just arrived today, where is Grandpa?"
Julian "he went to Viridian forest, there are some rare pokemon sitings there"
Gary looks at Electabuzz who is currently sitting and channeling his electricity in his hands and all over the body to gain complete control over it, he is just a step away from complete control.
Gary "Wow is that your Electabuzz"
Julian "Yes"
Julian just wants to be left alone right now even though he doesn't hate Gary, he gets very annoyed by him so he is currently thinking of a way to drive him away.
Julian "So what do you want"
Gary "I know a pokemon battle"
Julian looks at Gray with a questioning look then continued

Julian "You are still not ready"
Gary "How come, I have won 11 badges, I think even you don't have 11 badges like me"
He said with a smug on his face
Julian '11 badges? Ah, I get it since he didn't face Giovanni and Mewtwo he actually won against the temporary Viridian gym leader, He has also grown cockier'
Julian "11 badges have nothing to do with it I just know you are not strong enough to battle me"
Gary "Brother Julian are you scared to battle with me?"
Gary has become more annoying to Julian after he said that so Julian decided to humiliate him.
Julian 'Look at this cheeky bastard, he hasn't even grown hair there and acting cocky and arrogant in front of me, let me show you how arrogance truly is'
Julian "Look at you so confident of yourself, ok I accept your challenge but first, you have to defeat my Electabuzz if you defeat him I will battle you properly and I will also give you a handicap you can use as many of your pokemons to battle him"
Garry "Ha, I don't need to use many pokemons, one is enough"
Julian shook his head in disappointment and walked towards Electabuzz.
Julian "Electabuzz take care of this"
Electabuzz opened his eyes and saw Gary smirking at him, he had heard what Gary said to Julian even though Electabuzz was not the strongest of Julian's pokemon he was the most arrogant one of them all, seeing just a small brat taking smack to his master really pissed him off, he even thought that this brat was lucky that Julian's other pokemons where all in their pokeballs or he would have been toasted.
Electabuzz walked forward and came in front of Gary, Julian went back to his chair and covered his face with a piece of cloth and went to sleep, he already knew the outcome so he was not interested in seeing it.

Gary looked at Julian and was pissed but he couldn't do anything so he decided to defeat his Electabuzz first.
Gary "Electabuzz ha, even though you look strong I could easily defeat you, Go Nidoking"
Gary's Nidoking entered the battle at stared at Electabuzz.
Gary "Since Electabuzz is an electric type it moves are useless against my Nidoking, Nidoking this will be an easy battle"
Electabuzz looked at Nidoking and put on a smug face and looked down on Nidoking as if it wasn't even an ant in front of him, Nidoking, of course, noticed it and became furious but it didn't stop there as Electabuzz continued to taunt it.
Electabuzz [Hey, look at you, you weak little bug, I bet your trainer didn't feed you properly]
Electabuzz's insult hit Nidoking really hard and it became furious and was ready to charge at any moment.
Gary noticed the change in temper in his Nidoking.
Gary "Nidoking don't listen to him, use Mega Horn"
Nidoking was still angry and dashed towards Electabuzz using Mega Horn, Electabuzz just smirked at Nidoking who was dashing towards him.
As Nidoking came near him Electabuzz just moved aside a little and delivered a powerful Ice Punch to Nidoking right on its stomach and sent it flying back then crashing on the ground fainted.
Gary was shocked, he couldn't believe that Nidoking one of his strongest pokemon was blown away with just a single move, he called back Nidoking in frustration and looked at Electabuzz who signaled him to send out his next pokemon, he then looked at Julian to see him sleeping without any care, he knew that he became overconfident and looked down on his opponent he became serious and sent out his next pokemon.
Gary "Hmm, you just defeated one of my pokemons, the next one isn't going to be so easy, Go Kadabra"
Electabuzz was still smug as ever and looked down on Kadabra.
Gary "Use Psychic to lift Electabuzz and smash him on the ground"
Kadabra used Psychic as Electabuzz slowly started to float off the ground but he didn't even flinched and used thunder and the next moment the surrounding became dark and a bolt of huge lightning assaulted Kadabra causing it to faint on the spot as the electricity was still sparkling on its body.
Gary froze as he saw his Kadabra being defeated in one move again, he didn't know which pokemon he could use to defeat Electabuzz now he was stuck in a dilemma.
Then he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
Oak "Gary you should stop, you are still too far from even putting a scratch on Electabuzz"
Gary turned around to see his Grandfather Professor Oak.
Gary "Grandpa"
Oak "You should go back to the lab and place your pokemons inside I will treat them back to full health, I know you are disappointed after losing so badly but loosing is also a good experience and will help you temper yourself and you shouldn't disturb Julian now as he always sleeps this time of the day if he has nothing to do"
Gary nods and goes back inside the lab, Professor Oak shakes his head seeing Gary, he knows that Gary was too spoiled so he didn't mind Julian's harsh method on Gary, he believed it will help him a little.
Oak "Electabuzz here these are some berries I picked up in the Viridian forest when Julian wakes up to give it to him"
Electabuzz nods and accepts the barriers as he watches Professor Oak walk back to the lab.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
