Hoenn's Elites Meeting

Julian got back to Fortree city, Latios landed on an empty field and Julian got off from him.

Julian "You may leave"

Julian said his goodbye to Latios and he flew away into the sky disappearing completely.

Julian 'Now that I have finished of Team Aqua and Magma the only one remaining is the Shadow Legion, their headquarter is in LaRousse city, looks like I have to get the other two badges before going there'

Julian planned when and how he will deal with Shadow Legion, he just hoped that the gym leaders are able to solve the Mt. Chimney crises, he had no way to bring a volcanic activity back to life so he had to leave this matter to the authorities of Hoenn.

Julian returned to the city and saw that the festival had already begun, people were roaming around wearing colorful dresses, they even dressed their pokemon, many stalls were opened where they were selling various stuff such as food, clothes, flowers, pokemon sculptures and many more.

He noticed that many people were going towards the center of the city, Julian tagged along with the people and soon he arrived in front of a big glass building.

It was the place where the Pokemon Grooming exhibition was being held, he remembered Daisy was planning to visit this exhibition.

Julian decided to go inside and check if Daisy was inside, he walked in and saw many people standing in front of different pokemons who were being styled or already styled.

The groomers were putting all their effort into perfectly grooming the pokemon in front of them, people visited them and asked them to groom their pokemon, of course, they had to pay money for that, people with money were able to groom their pokemon.

Julian looked around the place and finally noticed Daisy, she was standing with a group of people looking at a groomer doing his work.

Julian "Daisy?"

Daisy turned around and saw Julian, seeing him she became happy.

Daisy "Julian, you came, that's great"

Julian then tagged along with Daisy and looked at the groomers doing their work.

Julian "You didn't participate?"

Daisy "I still don't have my license"

Julian "So all the groomers here are professional?"

Daisy "Yes, everyone here is professional, it is not only an exhibition but also a contest between these Groomers, the Groomer who will win the contest will get a chance to be the official groomer of the pokemon film industry.

Julian "Pokemon Film Industry?"

Daisy "You don't know, all the movies are made by this company and every pokemon starts are groomed by top-level groomers"

Julian "I see"

Julian never watched a Pokemon movie so he had no idea what happens on the other side of it and he was not interested in it.

The sun was setting and the lights were being lighted for the night show, the exhibition came to an end so Julian and Daisy left the event hall.

Daisy "Oh I totally forgot, did you see that Lightning storm this morning on Mt. Pyre, it was so scary"

Julian "Ah? Yes, that Lightning storm was really something"

Daisy "I thought the festival will get canceled if that Lightning storm spread but luckily it disappeared"

Julian "Indeed"

Daisy "But it's so weird, such a huge Lightning storm appeared and disappeared in just a few minutes"

Julian "It is indeed weird"

Julian and Daisy walked towards the venue where the night show is being held, they enjoyed their time together and finally went back to the tree house hotel.

The next day Julian woke up and got ready to leave for their next destination.

Daisy also got ready, she didn't want to delay any longer, they said their goodbyes to the Hotel manager and left, they got into the car and drove off.

Daisy "Where are we going next?"

Julian "To Lilycove city, from there we will board a ship and go to Mossdeep city"

Daisy "Lilycove city? Great, the biggest mall situated in Hoenn is in Lilycove city, I can't wait to visit it"

Julian smiled wearily and continued driving.

Somewhere in Ever Grand City, five people were sitting around a round table, they were Wallace and the Elite Four.

They all had a serious look on their face.

Wallace "We had underestimated Team Aqua and Magma, the orbs could have been in their hands if things didn't turn out the way it did"

Sidney "That man who was riding Latios, I think I have seen him somewhere"

Wallace "Me too, I did some research and found out that he was last seen in Kanto before the Indigo league even started, he was riding some weird red pokemon, but he was soon forgotten as he never appeared again"

Drake "He was riding a Latios and he even commanded a mysterious electric pokemon which has the power to destroy cities with one attack, we have to be on guard even if he is on our side"

Glacia "I think we should try and find him, he wouldn't have stopped Team Aqua and Magma if he didn't care about people lives"

Phoebe "But how do we find him, he was wearing a mask and due to all that lightning we couldn't even get a clear picture of his mask"

Wallace "We should first concentrate on solving the current problem that is Mt. Chimney, Gym Leader Flannery said that the water level is rising very fast, we have to somehow bring back the volcanic activity"

Drake "I couldn't find those Aqua bastards, they must have hidden somewhere, now that their base is destroyed they will soon be caught"

Wallace "I talked to Mr. Stone and he is working on something to stimulate and eruption, if an eruption can bring back the volcanic activity we have to take this risk"

Glacia "Houses will be burnt if this happens"

Drake "If we don't do it, the whole Hoenn will be destroyed, and there is also the chance of them awakening"

Sidney "I agree with the Old man, this is the only way"

Glacia and Phoebe stayed silent for a while before nodding.

Wallace "I see that everyone has agreed to this, then I will talk with Mr. Stone, Sir Drake you should continue looking for Team Aqua's leader, Miss Glacia you should try to find the leader of Team Magma, I found out they were doing some research on Volcanoes in Hoenn, their research might be helpful"

Glacia "Understood"

Drake nodded his head as well.

Wallace "As for Sidney and Phoebe you guys try to find this Mask man, his power is necessary for the safety of Hoenn"

They both nodded and soon the meeting came to an end.
