A Week Before The League
Unova is currently very chaotic because there is only a week before the league starts and this time the Vertress Conference is bigger than it has ever been, with participants from all over the world coming to dethrone Julian as the strongest trainer, this has made every person in the world excited.
The streets of Unova are busting with people who have come from other regions, cities like Opelucid, Humilau have been completely stormed by visitors, every hotel there has been booked to the brim and people are struggling to find a place to stay.
Since these people are not participants in the league, they cannot book hotel rooms in Vertress city where the league is being held.
Vertress city is known for its beautiful scenery and its grand stadium where the league will be held, the Vertress stadium is a combination of five massive stadiums, the biggest stadium is in the middle and acts as the grand stadium where the finals will be held.
The other four stadiums are attached to this grand stadium, even though these stadiums are big, they are nothing in comparison to the grand stadium.

Julian is current in Humilau city, waiting for the league to finally start, he has been waiting for this for a month now and it's finally here.
His team is ready, his pokemons are excited about their big battle, they know how big of a responsibility they have on their shoulder, they need to continue winning just like their seniors who made Julian proud by doing bringing out their best in the league.
They have watched the videos of Julian battling in the previous league and have seen how powerful their seniors really are, they saw many pokemons that belonged to Julian that they have never seen before, the pokemons that came before them belong to Garchomp's group and that team was Julian's second strongest team so coming right after them was a lot of pressure.
They were nervous but they are ready.
Julian was done training them, there is no more he could teach them within a week, the only thing that he can do is to put them through some hard training to level them up, but it will be hard to level up after reaching the current level they are in, they all are over level 60, and it becomes really hard to level up further.

Julian packed up his stuff and finally made his way towards Vertress city, he will be there in a week just before the league starts.
On the road, Julian saw many things as he rode towards Vertress city, he saw a lot of people roaming around with their pokemon, most of these people came from other regions to watch the league, one could easily tell if someone is from another region by looking at their pokemon.
Pokemons from other regions are very rare in Unova and the same goes the other way around, pokemons from Unova are very rare in other regions, due to the unique landscape of Unova, the pokemon here were very different from pokemons found in other regions and exclusive to this land.
They would have a hard time surviving in other regions as they might be treated as invasive pokemon by other pokemons, pokemons don't like when a pokemon they have never seen before come into their territory.

Five days passed and Julian was finally on victory road, and like every region, the victory road was decorated, everywhere he looked, he could see colorful decorations with the theme of the league.
After another day of riding, he finally arrived at Vertress city, he arrived right on time, the starting ceremony will be in two days and the registration will end tomorrow. If trainers are not able to register themselves before the due date and time, they will not be able to participate in the league.
As Julian entered the city, he saw a lot of trainers walking around enjoying the view, some were talking and showing off their pokemons, some were having battles while some were busy training their pokemons.
Even though the city seemed lively, there was a sense of nervousness in the air as well, everyone here knows that this year, the league is not something they could take lightly, even getting in the top 128 will give their training career a huge boost.
The trainers that are participating in the league are beyond strong and normal trainers had to work a lot harder to keep up with them.
As Julian rode past them all, he could feel the excitement and nervousness in the air, he then made his way to the pokemon center as it is where he will be registering.
He stopped right in front of the pokemon center and got off his bike, some looked at him and wonder who he could be because of the mask and glasses he was wearing while others didn't bother.
Julian then removed his mask and smiled, he didn't need to hide his face here, people know he would be here and most of them are trainers, and they all are quite intimidated by him, as they wouldn't want to face him in the first round itself.
Some people who were standing near the center saw Julian and were stunned as they watched him enter the pokemon center, as soon as he went in, they let out their breath suddenly started to talk about it, and updated their social media status telling everyone that they just saw Julian.
