Storming the world
It was three months after that encounter that Star had basically made his pokemon the strongest in the world. He had learned a lot about the Pokemon universe and he even felt like taking on Red. On his journey to train he found a little Fletchling which evolved into a Talonflame, as well as a Pikachu who then wanted to evolve into an Alolan Raichu, giving it psychic abilities and his Alolan Ninetales was his best option in most situations. He also found a keystone and a mega stone for Lucario so that he could mega evolve.
Now, Star had heard rumours that there was going to be a worldwide tournament for all Pokemon trainers, and he wanted to take part. It didn't start for another five months, so Star had planned training in every Victory Road in the world. The blond knew it was far fetched, but he still went ahead with it. He had beaten many trainers, but he came upon a very rude one. He looked to be around 12, a year younger than Star himself. He had short, black hair and brown eyes. He wore a light green T-shirt with a white collar and button and also had glasses that looked way too big for him.
"Hey, you, weakling, let's battle!" the small kid had a smirk on his face as he issued the challenge.
"And who might you be?" asked Star in a calm voice.
"The names Max, don't forget it, because I'm going to win the tournament held in Alola and you will wish you could be at my level.
"Alright then, we'll see how good you are in a battle" said Star as he threw out his Swampert. He still had that scarf around his neck but it was bigger now.
"Go, Gallade" Max practically shouted.
"This is going to be a one on one" Star said seriously.
"Ok, but prepare to lose, sucker" Max said in an arrogant voice. But before he knew it, the battle ended with one word
"Earthquake" Star said in a grim voice. And that was that. Max was so angry that he shouted at his pokemon.
"You, useless, trash, stupid pokemon. You couldn't even survive an Earthquake from a weak pokemon." Max said crying
"You don't deserve to have pokemon if you treat them that way" Star said as he left.
