Chapter 574 - For The Finals
The whole world is confused about the current situation in Sinnoh, the second battle of the semifinals was huge, it was even better than Julian\'s battle against Brian, the whole battle was unpredictable.
Ash gained a lot of fans after that battle.
The world started to discuss who is going to face Julian in the finals, Ash\'s and Tobias\'s fans started to put pressure on the league committee about the battle, some wanted Ash to go forward and other wanted Tobias.
The league couldn\'t even choose the one with the majority because it was a tie even in the voting pole they posted on their site, this was really frustrating to them.
There was even a massive internet war between the supporters of Ash and Tobias, not one post for the league conference was left, every post got flooded with this war.
As the public are trying their best to make their favorite go further, Ash and Tobias are also having a hard time, they cannot get over their draw, both of them want to go further but they know only one of them would be selected, their journey might end here even though they didn\'t lose.
Ash\'s friends are supporting him while Tobias has isolated himself with his pokemons, the battle with Ash showed him what a true pokemon battle felt like.
He had remained undefeated for such a long time that he forgot the excitement it brought to him from a pokemon battle.
______________________
While the internet is going crazy the league committee is having a very tough time deciding what to do, they didn\'t expect this to happen at all but on the plus side, this result brought even more attention to this year\'s league.
The committee is currently sitting in the league headquarter\'s meeting room trying to figure out what to do, they are looking at the stats on the screen, the screen displayed how well both trainers performed during the league, while Tobias had an undefeated streak with no loses till the semifinals, all his battle were very underwhelming that just ended in two to three minutes, while Ash did face some trouble but all his opponents were very strong compared to the ones Tobias faced and his battles were more enjoyable to watch as well.
One had a very good record while the other had a lot of potential.
Since this is not the finals or they would have declared both of them the winner and let the trainers handle the rest by themselves.
As they were about to give up a ray of light brought them hope, the door opened and the light from the corridor hit their faces, they turned around and saw Cynthia walking in.
"Champion Cynthia, help up, we are in trouble"
One of the members said with a defeated voice.
Cynthia "I understand what you all have been going through, luckily I was with Mr. Julian and asked him about the current situation and he proposed something"
She said and chuckled.
"What is it?"
One of them asked curiously.
Cynthia "Mr. Julian said he will face both of them in the finals if they win they can be crowned champion together and if he wins it\'s like every other year"
When the members of the committee heard this they were surprised, they never expected such a scenario to take place but it seemed like a legit idea as they didn\'t force Julian to do this, he himself told them to arrange this battle.
After discussing it further and coming up with the way this battle will take place the league decided to go with Julian\'s wish.
Soon this information was posted on the league\'s official site, as soon as the post was updated the internet went crazy once again, they saw both Ash and Tobias heading forward to the finals and they will face Julian together and if they win both of them will share the championship title.
Some of the idiots who didn\'t even read the whole post started to trash on the league for not being fair to Julian and how he has to face two people at once but they got ridiculed by other internet users and told them to read the whole post.
In the post the league also explained that it was Julian who asked them to make this decision, seeing this the world once again started to discuss the finals of the lily of the valley conference.
The finals this time is very different, it has never happened before, one versus two, people are excited to see this battle.
On the post the rules are also specified to keep the battle fair, while Julian will be using all six of his pokemons, Ash and Tobias are allowed to only bring three pokemons.
This will also be a double battle, while Julian uses two pokemon at once, Ash and Tobias will use one pokemon each.
Seeing the new rules for the finals people are hoping for an epic battle with lots of combination moves.
Inside Ash\'s room, he is looking at the post with his friends with excitement, he is happy that he made it to the finals but he is even happier that he will be battling alongside Tobias.
Even Tobias is surprised by the post from the league but he is satisfied with it, after watching Julian battle he knew that he has no chance of winning but with teaming up with Ash, things can change and he hopes that he will be the one who defeated Julian along with Ash.
