691 Mob Manipulation

Julian didn't expect David to act like this, he was actually thinking of using the public to attack him. Since David wanted to do this, Julian decided to play along and ruin his reputation along the way.

David "Look at you acting as if you didn't do anything, playing innocent in front of all these people, do you think I am scared of you? Guess what? You are completely wrong buddy"

David continued without any facts or evidence but his method was clearly working as many people started to whisper and click photos of Julian and upload it online with captions that didn't make any sense.

Julian "Why don't you stop beating around the bushes and tell me what I did so these people can start judging me with some context from now"

Julian said with a sarcastic tone, hearing Julian many people around him got embarrassed as they were clearly judging him without any context but they are also angry at him for calling them out, it was as if he was looking down on them.

David "Do I really have to say it, just thinking about it makes me puke"

Now he was clearly dragging this out.

Julian "Shut the fuck up and start barking"

Julian lost his patients and glared coldly at David, looking into Julian's eyes David felt chills running down his spine as he slowly took a step back, he wanted to back down but it was already too late, he has attracted the attention of everyone around here. If he backs off now the media will grind his name to dirt.

David still didn't understand why this person was so hard to handle, first, he didn't back of after hearing his father's name and now he is not even bothered after being subjected to public pressure and humiliation, he wanted to make the mob attack Julian and break him but Julian was even a tougher nut to crack.

Julian broke him down and ridiculed him in front of everyone and didn't act like anyone who is guilty at all, this of course was noticed by the people and it was slowly backfiring on him.

David "You are really sick, you first steal someone's pokemon and now you are acting all innocent"

As soon as David said this many people exclaimed, stealing pokemon is actually not that big of a crime but it is considered very bad among masses, so nobody welcomes people who are willing to steal other people's pokemons.

Julian "That's absurd, whose pokemon did I even steal?"

Julian asked. He didn't like the idea of being titled a pokemon thief but he decided to continue, he wanted to embarrass David really badly now.

David "Simon, come out"

David suddenly called out someone from inside, soon a young timid looking young teenager who seems to be around 15 years old came out, everyone looked at him and saw how timid he looked, everyone thought he was clearly a victim seeing how hunched he was standing.

While people were thinking about this, Julian was rather impressed by this boy's performance, he was clearly acting and seeing how good he really was at showing people his innocence, it surprised him.

David "You challenged poor Simon into a pokemon battle and forced him to wager his pokemon and after winning you took his pokemon away from him, I who has never allowed injustice to happen in front of my eyes will never let something like this happen, give Simon his pokemon back?"

This statement clearly stored up things even more and seeing how timid this Simon guy acted, everyone believed that the man in the red jacket really did it.

Julian "Simon was it?"

Julian asked. He couldn't believe how stupid these idiots are, they are clearly trying to use the public to steal his pokemon, this is the first time something like this happened to Julian.

Simon "Yes, give me back my pokemon"

He said with a low voice, it was as if he was almost scared to ask Julian.

Julian "Which pokemon did I steal from you?"

He asked. He was curious about which pokemon of his these idiots are after.

Simon "Give...Give back my Darumaka"

Julian also burst out into laughter after he heard the boy say he wanted his Darumaka.

While Julian was trying his best to hold back his laughter, the crowd was getting a little wild, some of them even started to call out Julian for what David and Simon claimed he did.

People were getting nasty and there was already posts about this on the internet, David started to trend in Unova within a few minutes.

This gained a lot of traction as David is a huge name and the heir of one of the biggest corporation in Unova, he is also known for how good he is at the pokemon battle, even though he has never participated in the Unova League before, he has had battles with veteran and elite trainers in Unova and has defeated them fairly.

Now that he is creating a scene how could it not gain any attention on the internet, especially his fans who were started to share how good of a person David is and everyone was dissing the man in the red jacket for stealing pokemon from the young Simon.
