Canalave City

Julian woke up and found all of his pokemon sleeping on the floor beside each other, he smiled and sent them back to their Pokeball, he looked out and saw it was evening and he didn't do anything special today.

He decided to give Chloe a call and ask her about the TV series.

Chloe "Hello?"

Chloe answered.

Julian "How are you and Daisy doing?"

Julian asked.

Chloe "We are doing fine, Daisy has been doing very well as well, she has already started her career and she will be with me the whole time from now onward"

Chloe said.

Julian "Be with you? aren't you two always together?"

Julian asked.

Chloe "Yes, but she had other clients who requested her to groom their pokemon and she had very little time for herself, but now it's different, she will be a part of my team"

Chloe said.

Julian "Is it because of that TV series deal?"

He asked.

Chloe "Yes, I was about to tell you that I will be staring as a lead in this TV series where I am a secret agent"

Chloe said excitedly.

Julian "Then this must be easy for you, you have already had all the knowledge of a secret agent"

Julian said and chuckled.

Chloe "Yes, I easily won that audition, if I had not taken that audition I would have still been in training camp"

Julian "Good, so Daisy will the main groomer of your team then?"

Chloe "Yes, she was very happy when she heard about this"

Julian "So has the shooting started already?"

He asked.

Chloe "Its a surprise, you will know when that happens"

Chloe said and chuckled.

Julian "Here you go again"

Julian said and laughed as well.

Chloe "Ok, I have some stuff going on so I have to go, I miss you, babe, hope to see you soon"

Julian "Same, hope to see you soon, love you"

Julian ended the call.

Having nothing to do Julian decided to call it a day and go back to sleep after feeding his pokemons.

The next day Julian heads out to the market to stock up his good and get away from this city, his next destination is Canalave city where he will face the gym leader of the Canalave gym.

After refilling his stocks he goes back to the hotel and checks out and hits the road once again as he heads towards the west where Canalave city is located.

After riding for days he finally arrived at Canalave city, he has not been in this city before even though he visited the valley nearby to catch Gible, he didn't want to waste his time visiting a city where he has nothing to do, he knew he won't be able to challenge the pokemons in the gym at the start of his journey but right now his pokemons are ready.

He looked at this huge city in front of hi, like the Oreburgh city where they are rock mines everywhere, Canalave city is the home of the steel industry, the mines present here have tons of metal, people have been mining here for thousands and thousands of years, Canalave city is one of the main cities of Sinnoh due to its huge metal and steel industries.

Julian walked into the city to see huge buildings and many construction sites, he saw most people walking around with steel type pokemons, the population of steel type pokemons are very high in this city, there are many wild steel type pokemons in the mines in the city, Julian decided to look around the city and find a hotel to stay while he research on his opponent.

He has heard that the gym leader of Canalave is very strong 95% of his first battle with the challengers is a win, his win record for the second battle with the same challenger is 60% and most of the challengers are able to defeat him on their third challenge.

Seeing this Julian is definitely impressed, it shows that even though the gym leader's pokemon are not the strongest they are the strongest at a similar level, the ones who defeated him in the first round were trainers who had Pokemon that were stronger than his.

So Julian is excited to battle this gym leader called Byron, he is also the father of the Roark the gym leader of the Oreburgh gym.

Julian soon finds a hotel room for himself and gets some rest, riding for three days was mentally tiring to him, after getting some rest he decided to look up about Byron and what are his pokemons.

He gets in front of the computer and searches for Byron, soon a page pops up displaying all his wins and losses when he was young and information about his current gym.

He has three pokemons that he uses to battle his challengers, a Bronzor which seems to have evolved recently into a Bronzong, a Steelix and a Bastiodon which his also his ace, seeing this team Julian could tell Byron focuses on Defense more than anything, all his pokemons are monsters when it comes to Defense, his Steelix should have the hardest Physical Defense, while his Bastiodon has powerful Defense on both Physical and Special side.

Julian "Landing the attacks would be easy but to make them count is tricky, looks like I should train them a little before challenging Byron"

Julian said and turned off the computer.
