Kukui walked towards Professor Oak and greeted him with a smile.

Kukui "Professor Oak, it's all thanks to you I was able to complete my research and finish my project" ??

He said and laughed shaking Professor Oak's hand violently.

Professor Oak struggled to release his hand from Kukui's grip but it was useless, he is an old man with weak bones, there is no way he can get away from the muscular young man in front of him.

Oak "Kid Kukui, that's enough, you are going to break my arm"

He said in a hurtful tone.

Kukui "Oh, hahaha, sorry, sorry, I didn't notice"

He laughed embarrassed and let go of Professor Oak's hand, Professor Oak grabbed his arm which is hurting, he decided to forget about it, this Kukui was impulsive from a young age, he couldn't do anything.

Oak "Kukui, this young man next to me is a very important person, you should get familiar with him"

Oak said and pointed at Julian.

Kukui looked at the one who Professor Oak pointed at, he saw a man in black dress fully covered, even his face is covered by a cloth mask, there is no way someone could identify a person with this kind of getup.

Kukui "Professor Oak, who is this Mister?"

He asked curiously as he looked at the man in black as his eyes are wide open.

Oak "This is none other than Julian, the undefeated previous champion of Kanto, and Julian this is Kukui, he is my cousin's best student from Alola Islands"

Professor Oak introduced both of them with a low voice so that he doesn't alert others, realizing who the person in front of him was, Kukui was in awe, he has heard about Julian so much, he has seen his every pokemon battle and he was especially impressed by how good Julian's pokemons are able to use their power.

When Kukui saw Julian's pokemon using moves, he could see the difference in those moves from the start, he was really in awe behind the power of those moves, and now that person who trained those pokemons is right in front of him.

Kukui quickly extended his hand and greeted Julian.

Kukui "It's an honor to meet you, Mister Julian, I am in awe at the sight of your pokemons moves"

Professor Kukui said.

It was a very odd thing to say when greeting someone but Julian didn't mind, he understood Kukui, this person in front of him is obsessed with pokemon and their moves, so he gives top priority to a pokemon's move than the person who trained that pokemon.

Julian "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Professor Kukui, I am eager to see what your research has led you too"

Julian said and shook his hand.

Kukui "I am flattered that you are interested in my research"

He said and laughed, he was also embarrassed at the same time, a man like Julian was on top of this world and for such a person to take interest in his project, he felt as if he was honored"

Julian "I am also someone who is fascinated by pokemons and how they use their powers. When I heard that your project is related to a certain move, my interest was peaked so I hope I can see it sooner"

He said and chuckled. historical

Kukui "I see, you are indeed an intellectual just like me, hahaha, no wonder you are undefeated and able to bring out the true power behind a pokemon's move"

Kukui praised him, hearing this Julian laughed awkwardly, he didn't know what to say, this Kukui was really passionate when it came to pokemon moves.

Kukui "Mister Julian, please take a seat, the even is about to start, you don't want to miss the others as well, their project is as good as mine or even better"

He said and asked Julian to take a seat.

Julian "Just call me Julian"

He said, he felt Kukui is a great man and having a friend like this is good, in this world Julian has no friends, only acquaintances, so Kukui might become his friend, so he told him to not bother with any titles or honorific when calling his name

Kukui "Then you can call me Kukui"

Kukui said and laughed.

Julian "Ok then, Kukui"

Oak "Julian come, let's sit down, the event is about to start"

Professor Oak said and asked him to take a seat, Julian agreed and joined Professor Oak in the audience seat.

Julian "By the way Professor Oak, how are my pokemons doing?"

He asked.

He was worried about them, even though the pokemon area outside Professor Oak's lab is huge, it's still too small for them, Pidgeot might be the only one free enough as he has no limit as he can fly.

Oak "They are doing fine, they all help me a lot, without them, many fights could have broken between different species of pokemons"

Julian "I see"

He said and nodded.

Oak "Look, it is about the start"

Professor Oak said as his voice is filled with excitement, the lights dim down as the huge white screen in front of them starts to display the words 'WORLD ANNUAL SCIENCE MEETING'.
