Nolan, didn't look as tough as it might suggest. His face was soft and smooth, typical of a 'dreamy boy.' Standing over 1.8 ters tall, he had a striking presence. With good facial features, he was often called a lady killer drawing the attention of many girls around him.
In contrast, Julian wasn't bad-looking either. He shared so of the good looks from his parents, but he was quiet and reserved. He had an aura that made people feel like he was off-limits, which didn't help his popularity.
It seed this guy was the grandson of a well-known Rock Elite, which added to his mystique.
Nolan was similar to Julian in school when he was just starting out; he was relatively unknown. But once he beca a Pokémon trainer, he quickly made a na for himself. His starter Pokémon, a Pupitar, turned out to be a Pseudo-legendary, and his background soon beca public knowledge.
"Pupitar!"
Nolan called out, sending his trusted Pokémon.

Julian was surprised to see Nolan's Pupitar. Blue-qualified Pokémon were rare and often belonged to trainers from prestigious families.
Most families had nurous descendants, while Julian's family was small, with him being the only male heir. In families like Nolan's, the best Pokémon usually went to the chosen heir, while others had to make do with what they could get.
Nolan must have been the heir of his family, the only one who could handle a blue-qualified Pupitar, especially with his grandfather being a Rock-type Elite. Julian knew that raising such a Pokémon was no easy task. Pupitar evolved into Tyranitar, but it needed to reach level 55 first, which was slow for a Pokémon.
Pseudo-legendaries were known for two things: their slow evolution and their even slower leveling-up process. It took a lot of resources to raise them. For instance, if soone bought a Pupitar for 100 million, they might need to spend at least a billion more to fully develop it into Tyranitar.
While pseudo-legendaries provided imnse power in battle, they were also incredibly costly. For example, tagross, another strong Pokémon, consud energy cubes worth 100,000 a day. An average family struggled to save that much in a year.
As the match between the two pseudo-legendaries began, the crowd grew. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room skyrocketed from one million to two million and continued to rise.
"Let's go, Nolan!" soone cheered.
"It's only Pupitar now, not Tyranitar!" another chid in.
"I don't care; I'm cheering for him!"
With its ferocious and domineering appearance and the ability to control sand, Tyranitar has the title of "Desert tyrant". In so movies, he often appears as a monster that destroys the city.
So ti ago, the famous Actor Tyranitar also starred in "Tyranitar Vs King Kong" as the villain but won the support of many audiences, shouting that the evil Tyranitar will eventually defeat the righteous, King Kong.
"Blind guess, tagross wins" one fan shouted.
"It's the grandson of the Rock Elite against the grandson of the Steel Elite!" another added.
"Pupitar is too ugly; I'm supporting tagross!"
The two Pokémon faced off, as far as Attributes were concerned, neither of them had an advantage. Although Pupitar's Ground type was strong against tagross's Steel type, the Steel type also had a good matchup against Rock type.
"Pupitar, use Screech!" Nolan commanded.
"tagross, use Agility!" Julian countered almost simultaneously.
Nolan wanted to weaken tagross's strong defense, but Julian had anticipated his move.
"Nolan was read!" a comntator exclaid in surprise.
Pre-reading was a skill where trainers guessed each other's commands to counter them effectively. tagross, with its Light tal ability, and thanks to various enchantnt potions had improved speed.
Before Pupitar could unleash its screech, tagross swiftly crossed the battlefield, covering nearly two football fields in a blink.
"tagross, Hamr Arm!" Julian shouted.
With two mighty strikes, tagross slamd its arms down on Pupitar. The impact created a loud bang, cracking Pupitar's armor and sending fragnts flying. Fighting-type moves were particularly effective against Rock types, and Hamr Arm was one of the strongest.
But it ca with a cost; tagross's speed would decrease after this move.
However, even slowed down, it would still be faster than Pupitar, which was still in its tamorphosis stage.
"Pupitar, use Dark Pulse!"
Nolan said, clenching his fists. He hadn't expected to be one step behind his rival.
Pupitar unleashed a wave of dark energy, but Julian was ready.
"tagross, use Light Screen!" he commanded.
A translucent barrier appeared in front of tagross, absorbing the impact of the Dark Pulse. tagross stood behind the screen, calm and confident, as if it knew the attack wouldn't break through.
"tagross, Agility, then Hamr Arm again!" Julian continued, his next moves.
"Pupitar, create a Sandstorm!" Nolan called out, sensing the urgency.
The ground around Pupitar transford into swirling sands, but it was too late. tagross had already closed in, its arm glowing brightly as it struck down.
