Journey Towards Greatness

"You have a big mouth for being a little runt. Let me fix that for you!"

The big burly man takes massive angry strides toward Jovi and raises his hand and makes a fist to hit the little girl.

The steroid abuser seems to have no morals as he is willing to raise his hand on a little girl.

Jovi flinches and closes her eyes in fright as she sees the big man is about to hit her but to her surprise, she didn't get it.

She opens her eyes and looks up to see Julian holding off the big man's massive arm with just one hand.

The burly man is also surprised by how the man, who isn't even half his size, can stop him from hitting the girl.

He clearly weighs double what Julian weighs, so he should have much more strength.

Little does he know that his steroid-abused muscles are no match for the ones enhanced by the Omni force.

The burly man looks at Julian and makes eye contact. As soon as the man sees Julian's cold crimson eyes, he feels a shiver run down his spine.

"Don't mess with me mother fucker. Who the fuck are you?"

The burly man shouts angrily.

Julian "It doesn't concern you. Leave now or I will make sure you regret ever raising your hand against this little girl,"

Julian warns the burly man, but he knows idiots like this will not back down with just a warning.

He just said it as a formality. Julian knows he will have to kick this guy's ass.

"Do you want to play hero mother fucker? You don't know who you are messing with. I am Zook, the strongest trainer in all of Orre. You messed up big time."

The burly man declares his name and claims to be the strongest trainer in all of Orre, which Julian doubts.

Julian "I don't give a shit who you are,"

Julian says.

Zook "That's it, you are done for!"

He shouts and takes out a black Pokeball. Julian scrunched his eyebrows as he saw the black Pokeball in Zook's hand.

Zook throws the Pokeball and sends out a Shadow Zangoose.

Julian "Where did you get that from?"

Julian asks as Zook doesn't seem like a Cipher member. He is too loud and gets too much attention. A Cipher member won't do any of that out in public.

Zook "I don't know what you are talking about. Now battle me so that I can put you in your place."

Zook says.

Julian 'Looks like I will have to use force,'

Julian thinks and sends out one of his Pokemon to battle as well.

Vikavolt enters the battlefield. Julian used a thunderstone to evolve his Charjabug.

Now is the perfect chance for him to test out Vikavolt's strength against a Shadow Pokemon.

Zook "What kind of pokemon is that?"

He questions as his pea brain doesn't know any pokemon that is found outside the Orre region.

Zook "Well, it doesn't matter what kind of Pokemon it is. I am the strongest,"

He declares and roars, flexing his massive muscles.

Zook "Zangoose, use Metal Claw,"

Zook starts with a pretty dumb move.

Metal Claw is a steel-type physical move, so its effect would be halved against an electric type like Vikavolt. On top of that Vikavolt can fly and that too extremely fast. Zangoose has no chance of landing the attack.

Julian "Use Thunderbolt"

If there is one thing Vikavolt excels at, it is Special Attacks.

As Vikavolt uses Thunderbolt, the lightning that he shoots instantly gets attracted by the steel energy covering the claws of Shadow Zangoose.

The Thunderbolt would have hit Zangoose even if Vikavolt was off target. Metal provides the least amount of resistance, so electricity follows it.

As soon as the Thunderbolt touches the metal-enhanced claws of Shadow Zangoose, it gets zapped brutally.

Shadow Zangoose screams in pain and collapses to the ground.

This would have been the end of the battle if Zangoose was a normal pokemon, but this is just the beginning.

Shadow pokemons ignore the pain and injury they suffer and continue fighting, like puppets on a string.

Zook "Hahaha, look at that. See, my Pokemon is invincible. Nothing can stop it. I am going to destroy you."

Zook laughs like a maniac.

Julian 'I should end this right now,'

Zook "Zangoose, use Fire Punch,"

He calls for a decent move this time but the result will be no different.

Julian "Dodge and then clamp down on the back of its neck,"

Julian gives his orders.

Vikavolt makes sure to stay in striking distance to let Zangoose swing at him.

Zangoose charges at Vikavolt and swings its fiery fist which Vikavolt easily dodges, canceling the move in the process.

He then instantly appears behind Zangoose and clamps down his mandibles right behind Zangoose's neck.

Julian "Time to end this,"
