1294 Not Crystal's Friend

Julian continues his search for a pokemon he can add to his team, while Tapu Lele continues to follow him from a distance.

It has shown no sign of cautiousness for Julian and it is as carefree as it ever could be.

Tapu Lele is known for being very cruel and showing no guilt or remorse while doing so, but it has also been seeing healing people and pokemons with its magical dust. And this is the reason why the people of Alola fear and worship Tapu Lele.

Julian continued his search, but he soon came to the conclusion that he needs to stop for today. His luck is not good today.

Julian marked the areas of the forest he had been in today in his mind and flew back to the town on Charizard's back. To his surprise, Tapu Lele continued to follow him, but it maintained its distance from him and Charizard.

He wondered how well Tapu Lele with fare up against his Charizard.

He roughly can tell that Tapu Lele is way stronger than a champion-level pokemon and the same goes for Tapu Koko as well. As for Charizard, he has also gone past champion-level pokemon, but he doesn't know if Charizard alone can take on any of the Tapu.

But with Julian by his side, victory is possible.

Julian entered the town again and this time there were more people walking around since it was evening. People are coming back from their work and heading home and some of them are out shopping for products they need for their homes.

Julian found himself a nice hotel to stay at. Unlike Melemele island, the hotels here are not as luxurious because Akala island is not as tourist-focused as Melemele island.

But Julian is still satisfied with the room he got as he paid for the most expensive one. He got a nice big room with a balcony and a sea view from where he could watch the sunset.

And he is doing it right now, sitting on a lazy chair with a drink in his hand while his pokemons are running around on the balcony playing with each other.

The orange light from the sun has turned the sky completely orange, and it didn't spare the sea as well. The setting sun reflected on the ocean's surface distorted but it created a beautiful scenery.

His drinking glass also reflected this orange light, which enhanced his experience.

Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him makes him almost forget that there is a lot of shit going on out there right now.

Cipher members have made Alola their temporary home and they are slowly combing down the whole island to search for totem pokemons.

Julian knows he has to stop them before they get any braver and start causing trouble right in front of the public eye. He knows how dangerous it can get.

Julian 'Maybe I should bring in my people here to obstruct Cipher.'

Julian thought and took a sip from his glass. He then picked up his phone and called Kanto, not to professor Oak but to Omni-guardian headquarters.

Julian realized that he cannot be on all four islands at the same time and he needs his own people to keep their eyes planted on these islands.

By having his own people on every island, he will be able to easily stop Cipher before they can even spread.

Julian talked on the phone with some familiar and told her to bring a massive task force to Alola and spread out between the four islands.

The woman on the other side of the phone was very excited to hear from Julian and when she heard Julian ordering her to come to Alola, she almost fainted with excitement.

Julian ended the call and put his phone away. They should be here in two to three days. Until then, Julian will have to take care of everything on his own.

Once Omni-guardians get here, he will be able to relax a little.

As he is enjoying the evening, he feels Tapu Lele's gaze again, but it made a very big mistake. It is now in presence of Crystal and Crystal feels its presence as well.

Crystal turns its head and looks at the tree top close to them and feels a familiar aura. It suddenly gets excited thinking that its friend from Melemele island Tapu Koko is here to play with it so it bolts towards the tree top.

The sudden arrival of the strange-looking pokemon surprises Tapu Lele, who is sitting behind the tree top.

Crystal arrives right in front of Tapu Lele and stares at it with confusion. It thought that it was its friend Tapu Koko, but this pokemon is completely different. Even though its aura is similar to Tapu Koko, it's not Tapu Koko.

Tapu Lele also looks at Crystal with confusion. It feels very connected to Crystal, but it doesn't know what Crystal is.

But things turn worse as Crystal gets a little closer to touch Tapu Lele and Tapu Lele lashed out.
