_____________________

On top of a hill in the lily valley, Julian and his pokemons are training together, they are currently going through h.e.l.l as Infernape is looking after their training, Julian is not taking this battle lightly because he might suffer some setbacks in this battle.

Both Ash and Tobias have reached Elite level, maybe even stronger and their power combined will be the battle Julian is hoping to face.

Crystal who wanted to run away from the training was not spared as well when it tried to escape Infernape caught it by its tails, it turned around and showed its innocent big red eyes to soften Infernape but he didn't deter at all.

He forced Crystal to take part in the training as well, with Julian being there to train them the process when smoothly.

Somewhere else in the Lily valley Ash and his friends are going around in search of Tobias as they need to train and come up with a plan if they want to defeat Julian, after asking around the trainers who are around the area, Ash finally found Tobias's room.

He knocked on the door but no one answered, he knocked again and this time the door opened slowly with a creaking sound, Ash and his friend felt an airy aura coming from inside the room, Ash peeked in and saw a red eye staring at him from the other side which scared him causing him to fall back, the door fully opened and Tobias walked out with his Darkrai by his side.

Ash got back to his feet and looked at Tobias, he noticed that Tobias had dark circles under his eyes indicating that he didn't sleep for quite a while.

Ash "Tobias, let's go and train, we need to defeat Julian together"

Ash said with excitement

Tobias took his time and stared at Ash for a few seconds before signaling him and his friends to get in, Ash rushed inside with excitement followed by Brock and Dawn.

As they entered the room they saw a lot of whiteboards and these boards were filled with strategies written all over them. there is also a big TV with Julian's battle against Brian playing.

Seeing the amount of research being done here Ash got excited and looked around, while Brock also took his time to go through all of them.

Brock "You came up with all this in a day?"

He asked Tobias.

Tobias "Not a day, I have been planning this before the league itself, to defeat Julian is the only goal I have right now"

He said.

Brock "At least you have something common with Ash I guess"

He said and looked at Ash who is running around the room and looking at everything with no concerns about what the owner will think.

Tobias "Ash"

He called Ash out, Ash stopped and looked at Tobias.

Tobias "Even though I don't like the result of our battle, it is what it is, now we need to work together to defeat Julian and we need to battle together if we really want to defeat him"

He said.

Tobias is a very straight forward guy so he didn't beat around the bushes, he wanted the win and he decided to go with the league's setup, he usually battled alone but this time he decided to go with how things are going.

Ash "Yes, let's train together and take down Julian, I have been waiting to battle him for such a long time"

Ash yelled in excitement.

Tobias and Ash need to work together and come up with something if they really want to defeat Julian and they need to work fast a develop coordination between them, while Tobias is very technical with his battles, Ash is unorthodox, both of them teaming up can be a disaster if they don't come up with something or it could even be their chance to show the world that Julian can be defeated.
