Chapter 207 - Breaking The News
Julian, Daisy, and Chloe got back to the city and into their hotel, Daisy and Chloe are tired after spending lot\'s of time on the hills.
As they returned to the hotel room they directly went to sleep after eating dinner, Julian isn\'t feeling sleepy so he decided to take a short walk outside the city, the streets in the night are very quiet unlike his previous world, people are in their home, happily eating and enjoying their life together.
As he walked deeper into the city he noticed something, people were sleeping on the streets, he realized what is happening, due to all the houses being destroyed in Groudon\'s and Kyogre\'s rampage, many of them are homeless.
Some people share their own house with strangers but the one that cannot find any place to stay have to spend their night on the streets.
Julian is no way foreign to these events, he has seen masses living in streets in his old life due to the huge war, many of them were homeless and many children turned orphan.
Luckily this world is more advanced than his previous one, they know how to handle stuff during disasters, even though many cities and towns were destroyed no once died but some suffered from diseases and hunger.
Seeing small children hugging their parents while sleeping, Julian felt sad.
This is something he had seen coming, not everything will turn good, even though the environment changed for the better, people are still suffering from a shortage of food, they don\'t have a place to stay, they cannot live in the vast wilderness as the pokemons there are aggressive and very territorial.
Hoenn may be huge but most of it is forest and mountains only 20 percent is occupied by human civilization.
Julian "I cannot let go of this after seeing it, I will just feel guilty if I ignore them"
Julian said and took out his phone and called Jimi, one of the main shareholder of his company and the member of the board.
Jimi "Julian for what do I owe this call from you?"
Julian "I want you to donate money for the development of Hoenn"
Jimi "How much?"
Julian "As high as we can give"
Jimi "We can do that but the shares of the company may go down"
Julian "Its a risk, and I know you like taking risks and this is the perfect chance, donate huge money, this will also work as a promotion"
Jimi "I see what you mean, it may be a risk but the award might be huge as well"
Julian "Discuss with the board, I will send a signed document to you tomorrow morning"
Jimi "Ok, have a good night"
Julian "You too"
Julian cut the call and looked at the people sleeping on the streets once again and sighed.
Julian "What Hoenn need right now is more money, I can provide them that"
He then turned around and went back to his room.
After reaching his hotel room, he noticed both Chloe and Daisy are in deep sleep, he quickly did some paperwork and went to sleep.
Next day he sent it to Jimi, Daisy and Chloe got up soon and they had their breakfast.
Julian decided to watch the latest news to see what\'s going on, he switched on the TV and changed the channel to a local news one.
Anchor "Good morning to all our viewers, I am your host Achara, we have two huge breaking news today, first is about JC corporations, yes the fastest-growing pokemon food industry which is preferred by most of the pokemon trainers and breeders across the world and yes this corporation is under the strongest champion to ever step foot in the league. The corporation\'s net worth is about 100 billion Pokedollars and is estimated to grow up to 500 billion in a year.
The head of this corporation is, of course, the champion Julian and he has decided to help Hoenn by donating 5 billion Pokedollars to Hoenn for its development, the government of Hoenn and the elites of Hoenn are already in touch with two of the shareholders of the company Professor Oak and Jimi Brown as they are discussing about it.
People of Hoenn let\'s thank the Champion Julian for his generosity and kindness to us and help us in tough times.
Next news is as big as this one as well, instead of me saying it why don\'t all of you see it on your own"
The Anchor said and turned to the screen behind her, it suddenly started to play footage of Julian sitting in the crowd and eating popcorn.
Seeing this Julian\'s eyes went wide.
Anchor "As you all guessed, this person is the greatest champion of all time Julian himself, he was seen in Lilycove city watching the battle between the champion of Kalos Diantha and the new rising star Chloe, luckily one of the cameraman in the arena recognized him and filmed him. Come let\'s talk to this cameraman who was able to notice him"
The screen behind the anchor changed and started to play a live interview of the cameraman and a female interviewer next to him.
Interviewer "First of all can you please tell us the viewers watching at home your name"
Cameraman "Yes my name is Alex and I am 27 years old"
Interviewer "So Alex can you tell us about what exactly happened that day"
Alex "It was the same boring day for me but I got a call to film the live broadcast because the main cameraman got flu, I got excited because of I always dream of filming a champion battle and that day was the perfect day for me. When I reached the arena where the occasion is taking place I saw a commotion outside the registration area, I saw two men trying to bully the rising star Chloe but they suddenly got interfered by a tall handsome man, when I saw this man I froze on the spot, it was the champion, Julian. I saw him take down one of the men easily.
Before I could get everything together what just happened I had lost him, at first I thought I was mistaken and saw someone else but that\'s not possible, I am his biggest fan I can never forget his face, I have huge posters of him in my room. It was definitely the Champion Julian, I knew I have to find him, I was very unlucky that I didn\'t get to meet and talk to him in person but when I was filing and going through the audience reaction, I saw him, he was carefully looking at the battle between Champion Diantha and Chloe the rising star."
Interviewer "That is indeed a rare sight because the Champion Julian is known to be very hard to catch in public, you were very lucky to notice him"
Alex "Yes, hahaha"
Interviewer "You said that you saw the Champion Julian helped the rising star Chloe, do you perhaps think they were together"
Alex "From what I saw they did seem close, two be exact I saw two women with Champion Julian, one can be seen in the footage I captured, the woman on his right and of course there is the rising star Chloe was with him as well, from the vibe I was getting from them, they are definitely lovers"
Interviewer "Hehe, so you are saying that Champion Julian is a ladies man as well"
Alex "Definitely"
Interviewer "Haha, thank you for your time Alex, hope you have a great day, back to you Achara"
The interviewer turned to the camera and the live footage ended.
Anchor "And that is the end of the interview, and look at this people are already started to speculation about why Champion Julian is here. All of you can go to our forum and post your thoughts about this situation"
Anchor "Ho, look at this a juicy though by Natalia, what does she have to say"
The anchor starts to read the thoughts posted live on their forum one by one, while she is doing that Julian, on the other hand, is shocked by the reaction of everyone on the TV, he was leaving such a peaceful life these few days that he grew completely forgot the power of the public.
He didn\'t even notice that Daisy and Chloe were sitting next to him also shocked by their appearance on the news, Chloe\'s fame skyrocketed when she had her battle with Diantha, people loved her and Daisy being seen with Julian and her beauty also captured a lot of attention.
The trio became famous all over Hoenn in just a day.
