Journey Towards Greatness 152 Zinnia

Julian walked back to his room where he saw Daisy was making a blue scarf which has red patterns on it.

Julian "What are you making?"

Daisy "I got inspired by that Mega Evolution stuff and decided to make something, this is for Grovyle"

Julian "He just evolved I think you need a make a bigger one"

Daisy "Don't worry, I made this by keeping that in mind that he would evolve one day but I didn't expect him to evolve so fast"

Julian "Is it finished?"

Daisy "Just need a little bit of work and it will be finished"

Julian "Are you done looking around the city?"

Daisy "No, the city is too big, I couldn't even finish seeing a quarter of this city"

Julian "Ok, then let's look around the city then head towards Sootopolis city.

Daisy "Sounds like a plan"

Julian and Daisy then spent three days looking around the city and enjoying themselves.

After finis.h.i.+ng their small vacation they decided to leave for Sootopolis city.

Julian "Daisy are you ready?"

Daisy "Yes, just a minute"

Daisy quickly got ready and tagged along with him as they left for the s.h.i.+p harbor, after hours of waiting they finally boarded the s.h.i.+p and left for Sootopolis city.

Back in Mossdeep city Tate and Liza were waiting for the other gym leaders to come to their gym as the second meeting was decided to be held in their gym and talk about Hoenn's condition.

Liza "When will they arrive?"

Tate "Don't know, let's just wait"

Their wait was soon over as one of the gym leaders finally arrived, it was Norman.

Tate/Liza "Mr. Norman welcome"

Norman nodded and looked at the meeting room.

Norman "Am I the only one who arrived?"

Tate/Liza "Yes"

Norman "Ok, looks like we have to wait"

Next to come was Juan, he was, as usual, wearing his long blue coat.

After him, the remaining members also arrived, Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, Flannery, and Winona. They all arrived one after the other and took their seat.

There was silence in the room and no one was starting the conversation.

Norman "So what's the situation?"

Flannery "The machine that is in Mt. Chimney cannot be stopped, it will destroy Mt. Chimney"

Norman "What do you mean?"

Juan "The Team Aqua b.a.s.t.a.r.ds put a self-destructive mechanism in that machine, even the slightest change made in it will cause it to explode taking down Mt. Chimney with it"

Winona "If that happens many people will die"

Juan "That's why the elites are not taking any action yet"

Roxanne "Did Mr. Stone come up with something?"

Wattson "I and Mr. Stone talked about it, we cannot stop that machine without changing it and doing so will make it self-destruct"

Brawly "This is bad"

Juan "Did you evacuate the people living near the seash.o.r.es?"

Brawly "Yes all of them have been evacuated to northern regions, it was hard to do but with help of Roxanne and Flannery we were able to pull it off"

Norman "If this continues the balance will be broken and they might awaken"

Juan "We have to brace ourselves, we have the orbs, if things go wrong we can use it"

Tate "There is someone who can help us"

Juan "Who?"

Liza "The Champion of Kanto"

Juan "Lance? I know he is powerful but will he come to Hoenn in such short notice, it will take months for him to arrive"

Tate "No we are talking about the previous Champion of Kanto"

Norman and Roxanne suddenly realized this as well.

Juan "The previous champion of Kanto? You mean Mr. Julian, he has not been seen in the public for months"

Norman "No, he is here in Hoenn"

Juan "He is in Hoenn?"

Roxanne "Yes, he challenged me to a gym battle months ago but I forgot about it due to all this commotion going here in Hoenn"

Norman "Same here, he challenged me as well"

Juan "Why would a champion at that level challenge you?"

Even though it was disrespectful for Juan to say this, they didn't mind it as they know what kind of monster Julian's pokemon were.

Norman "He has started new, he is traveling with new pokemon, I think he will partic.i.p.ate in the league"

Winona "You are saying the Champion of Kanto is here and challenging the gyms, wait?"

Winona suddenly remembered someone, same could be said to the others as well, such as Flannery, Wattson, and Brawly.

Winona "Black Coat"

Brawly "Red eyes"

Flannery "Black Hair"

Wattson "Hahahaha, so it was him after all, no wonder he swept me so easily"

Juan "Wait, so all of you have been defeated?"

Tate "Yes, that means his next destination will be Sootopolis city"

Juan "So I will have to face him next"

The other couldn't believe they didn't recognize Julian, they knew about the existence of Julian but have completely forgotten how he looked.

Juan "Wait something is strange?"

Norman "What is it?"

Juan "The champion of Kanto is here, and this mysterious man who destroyed Team Magma and Aqua also appeared recently here, he was also last seen in Kanto"

Norman "You mean they could be the same person?"

Juan "It could be possible, we have to ask him directly"

Wattson "Then you have to head back to Sootopolis city quickly.

Juan "Yes, I have no time I will be leaving"

Juan got up and left, the other gym leaders also soon left as well.

Winona, Flannery, and Brawly couldn't believe they fought Julian and didn't even recognize him, Wattson took it in with no problem as his character was so.

The same day on an island a woman wearing Team Magma's outfit stood on top of a tall tower and looked up at the sky, she is on top of the Sky Pillar.

She undressed from the uniform and wore another dress, she had short black hair, now she was wearing a black top with jeans hot-pants and a cape, she had a twisted ankle bracelet on her right leg which was shaped like a dragon and a Keystone was stuck in it.

A Wishmur is standing beside her.

She is Zinnia the last of the Draconid people, they were the last wors.h.i.+pers and protectors of Rayquaza's Jade but Shadow Legion stole it from them.

Zinnia "It was useless for me to join Team Aqua or Team Magma, they had nothing that could help in stopping the coming disaster, upon that they brought a new disaster to Hoenn, I got lucky that day when the Magma headquarters suddenly collapsed and I would have been buried under"

Zinnia looked at Wishmur

Zinnia "Hoenn is in great threat, but I know what to do, I have to awaken the Rayquaza from three thousand years ago and ask its help to eliminate these threats, but it is not easy"

Wishmur "........"

Zinnia "Yes, that person on Latios, the one who destroyed Team Magma and Aqua, he might have the answers, I have to find him quickly"

She then tossed a Pokeball and a huge Salamence came out, it had a Mega Stone on its tail, she hopped on its back and flew away.
