In the Hoenn region, LaRousse City, Chole is currently dressed in a white lab coat and is trying to sneak into a scientific facility.

Chloe 'What is this thing that the boss wants me to steal, I just hope that it won't bring any harm to the innocents' ​​

After cautiously sneaking around the facility she finally reaches an empty corridor and opposite to her is a big steel door blocking her path.

Chloe 'Looks like that thing is inside here'

Chloe walks forwards and unlocked the door using a key card she stole from a scientist, the door opened slowly and she walked in to see huge computers and monitors monitoring radio waves and other stuff, she walked a little further and found what she was looking for, it was a green oval-shaped crystal which was stuck to a piece of rock.

Chloe 'So this is that thing which was found in that meteorite which crashed four years ago, what could it be?'

She wondered as she looked at this otherworldly crystal in a piece of meteorite.

Chloe 'Whatever it is I should quickly take this thing back to the headquarters'

Chloe approached the glass tube which holds the crystal, she took out a pen-like device and cut a hole using it on the glass tube, when she touched the crystal to take it away, it flashed with bright green light causing the surroundings to be covered with nothing but green light, nothing could be seen and the next moment when the light was gone Chloe had disappeared from the room completely with no trace of her left behind but the green crystal was still there as if it was not touched at all.

Back to Kanto Julian was doing his usual stuff, training, eating, sleeping, unaware of what had happened to his lover.

Julian 'What do I do after I defeat everyone and become the champion, should I go to Jhoto? Naaa Jhoto doesn't seem too interesting, The Elite four there can't give me any excitement, I have already defeated Bruno and he is one of the Jhoto's elite four, Koga became the Elite four of Jhoto recently and I have already defeated him, leaving Will and Karen they both are decent but still I think Agatha and Lance are way stronger than them so its pointless'

After thinking for a while Julian finally came to a conclusion.

Julian 'I think I should stay behind till the events of the Hoenn starts and build a good foundation for my company so that it would do well even in my absence'

After deciding his future plans he went outside to have his dinner.

Julian "So much thinking made me quite hungry, I feel like eating some heavy meal today"

Julian walked inside the restaurant to find Bruno sitting on a table and munching down rapidly, seeing this Julian tried to escape but he was out of luck as Bruno noticed him and waved his hand.

Bruno "Oye, Julian come here and have a drink with me"

Julian didn't want to disrespect him so he joined Bruno to a drink. Since this was an expensive restaurant who only allowed VIP to enter there were not many people inside, only a few rich people who were busy doing their business.

Julian took a seat and poured himself a glass of wine.

Bruno "What are you doing?"

Julian was startled by this sudden question

Julian "What?"

Bruno "You are drinking wine? Wine is for sissies, real men drink beer. Since you defeated me you are a real man so you should drink beer"

Julian looked at Bruno if he was looking at an idiot.

Julian 'If he drinks beer instead of wine, why is there a wine bottle on your table?'

He didn't want to get bothered by this so he didn't ask Bruno about it and continued to drink his wine

Julian "Don't worry about it, I thought of drinking wine today"

Bruno "Suit yourself but you should remember beer is the only drink a real man should drink, wine is for ladies and sissies"

Julian 'Man what did I get myself into? I just hope no heard him'

Julian ignored Bruno and continued to drink his wine, he ordered some food to eat as well.

Bruno "Yo Julian, how do you train you pokemons?"

Julian "It's a secret"

Bruno "Common man, I need to teach my pokemons how to move like that so they can also fight like your Infernape"

Julian "You just need to improve their agility that's all"

Bruno started to think about it with a serious look on his face as if he was thinking of different ways to increase his pokemons agility.

Bruno "By the way, what do I do to increase their agility?"

Hearing this question Julian almost spit the food out of his mouth.

Julian 'How did this guy become a member of the elite four?'

Julian "Just do exercises that are not based only on strength training"

Bruno "Hohoho, I got it"

Julian didn't want to wait here any longer so he quickly finished his food and walked away

Julian "I am leaving"

Bruno "Sure have a nice day"

Back to his room, Julian walked towards the computer to search for Agatha's info, after searching for a while he got a rough idea about her team.

Julian 'Her team is mostly built of Ghost and Poison-type pokemons, them being Gengar, Banette, Misdreavus, Crobat, and Arbok. She actually has a pokemon from Hoenn well its not a surprise as she should have traveled there when she was young'

After thinking about his strategy he finally decided to end his day.
