Chapter 608 - Potential Candidate (1/2)
Julian took the same route he used to get to Nuvema Town, his current destination is Striaton City as its the closest city and it also has a pokemon Gym but before that Julian needs to catch too more pokemons before he can challenge the gym.
He has his Darumaka who needs training and no one else, using any of this older pokemon is just cheating so he didn't even bother.
He needs to catch new pokemons. When he came through this route before he didn't find any pokemon that caught his eye but he was not trying to find one but now he needs to find some so he decided to camp inside the forest and explore.
It's been months since he camped inside a forest, as he explored the jungle that lies between Nuvema Town and Acc.u.mula Town he found the same pokemons one after the other but nothing that caught his eye, he decided to go deeper but no success, every pokemon he encountered were quite normal in his eyes.
Even though they are all new species of pokemons to Julian they just caught his curiosity but he soon lost interest in them, sometimes he would feet them and send them away, that is all he did during his stay in the forest.
Even though he missed camping outside in the forest he now wanted a soft bed to sleep on.

It is another day inside the forest, Julian is currently training his Darumaka how to use his round body for his advantage, having a round body was really a good thing, it could help them dispel energy easily, it also helped them move around easily if they master the art of rolling.
Since Darumaka's hands and legs are so small compared to his round body this was the best way to move during a battle.
When he is not in a battle he could wobble between his legs and walk as he liked but during a battle, one needs to be very fast if their defense is not high and Darumaka has no defense right now, he is just a powerful attacker, he needs some speed and movement techniques before he is ready for battle.
Julian thought Darumaka how to use his hands and legs while he is rolling around to make sharp turns and jump up, after two days of training Darumaka finally learned how to move during a battle, he let Darumaka battle with Victini, Victini didn't use its full power, it just used tackle and dodge so Darumaka can understand how a battle really works.
After training was over Julian fed them their lunch and then decided to leave, this forest didn't have any pokemon that caught his interest, after packing up everything he started to walk towards the road.
After walking for a while Darumaka suddenly came out of his Pokeball and started to look around, Julian sighed, this Darumaka was too much, he always wanted to explore, he would come out of his Pokeball for no reason.
Even during the night he would come out of his pokemon while sleeping and sleepwalk, Julian felt troubled by this little one, this is the first time Julian encountered such a trouble maker, even Gengar and Crystal didn't bother him this much compared to Darumaka who has been with him only for a few days.
Julian ”Darumaka, walk straight”
