Journey Towards Greatness

Once Marshadow and Gengar are outside, they noticed that nothing much has changed except a few ghost type pokemons talking about that terrifying presence that they felt before.

Gengar giggled and headed towards the door he came from, once they reached the gate, Gengar looked at Marshadow.

Gengar [Alright Kiddo, I will be leaving, if you are lucky, you will encounter my master and from what I know, he will definitely take you in and train you to be the best, but right now is not your time]

Gengar said and disappeared went right through the spiraling door and didn't look back while Marshadow just watched.

Marshadow 'I need to meet Mr. Gengar's master'

It thought and decided to go back to the crystal and absorb some more energy as it felt it was close to leveling up again, after such a long time it is about to evolve again, maintaining that perfect, purest form of energy source and taking it to its limit before finally leveling up.

This is the hardest way a pokemon to train.

Back to Julian, he is talking with Alder about a few stuff, he realized that Alder is actually a good person to be familiar with, he is a great person to speak to as he is very knowledgeable about a lot of stuff.

Since he grew up in a tribal village, he has experienced life better than the people who have lived in the city their entire life, Julian learned a lot about tracking pokemons.

How to track for specific pokemons and how to study their pattern, this was very informative information that Julian has never received from any person or book, how to study a pokemon's behavior, their habitat, and the food chain itself.

Like, how he can find a pokemon he is looking for if he looks for a pokemon they usually prey on, how to read a pokemon habitat, and study their pattern to find the best pokemon.

All this knowledge was something that impressed Julian a lot and gave him a favorable impression of Alder, they also talked about some problems that Unova faced, like Team Plasma.

When Julian asked Alder about them, he just smiled and said he was not worried about them too much, Julian also smiled hearing Alder's answer.

He could tell that Alder was confident in his ability to take down Team Plasma if they try to bring catastrophe for Unova.

Right now they are only focused on stealing pokemon and it seems the police and the gym leaders are able to handle this situation quite well.

Julian "By the way, I wanted to ask about the leader of Team Plasma"

Alder "What about him?"

Julian "His name is N, have you ever met him?"

Alder "Yes, I have, that poor boy"

He said and sighed.

Julian "So you met him, it looks like he doesn't know what he is doing"

Alder "Indeed, that poor boy has been brainwashed into thinking that people are bad and they are enslaving their pokemons"

Julian "I see"

This is the first time Julian heard about this.

Julian 'So this is the reason why he is the leader of Team Plasma, he thinks he is doing the right thing'

Julian thought.

Julian "How did you find out about it?"

He asked.

Alder "Haha, that boy came and challenged me to a battle. He said that I was the biggest obstacle in his plan to liberate the pokemons from human enslavement, it was quite funny"

Julian "I guess you won"

Alder "Haha, indeed, I am the champion of Unova, if some no-name kid came out of nowhere and defeated me, it would be quite humiliating"

He said and laughed.

Julian "I agree"

Alder "I guess you also met him since you are so curious about him"

Julian "Indeed, I met him in Nimbasa city, few Team Plasma members tried to rob the teleportation project from Professor Kukui, unlucky for them, I was there as well.

I also met someone who called himself one of the Seven Sages, when I was about to capture him, N came and saved him"

Alder "Seven Sages you say?"

Julian "Yes"

After hearing this Alder frowned.

Alder "If they are really involved in this, it might be bigger than I thought"

Julian "Do you know this group?"

Alder "Yes, I have heard about them and they are quite influential, they have connection all over the world but I didn't think they would be interested in stealing pokemons from normal people"

He said.

Julian "I also did some research on them, it would indeed be very stupid for them to do something like this, they will be harming their own image"

Alder "If the Seven Sages are really involved, I will have to look into it, thank you for informing me"

He thanked Julian.

Julian "It's nothing, I just thought you would find it helpful"

Alder "It is indeed very helpful"

As he thanked Julian, Julian noticed that Gengar has returned and entered his shadow.

Julian "I should be leaving now, I need to hit the road again"

Alder "Good luck on your journey, well actually I should be wishing luck to the gym leaders you are going to face, hahahahaha"

Julian smiled and bid his farewell to Alder before leaving Celestial tower and hit the road again.
