Chapter 284 - Reaching Hearthome City
It took a day for Julian to get out of the mountain range, going through the maze was a lot easier for him because of all the markings he left behind.
After getting off the mountain, he booked a room near the mountain and rested.

Up in the mountain peak, Cyrus gets up while he screams from fear, he is sweating heavily and looks around to find himself near the Spear pillar, he holds his head as he feels the sharp pain on it.
He suddenly remembers something and looks around to find the Orb.
But he cannot find it on him, he panics and looks around the whole alter but he has no luck.
Now he is really frustrated.
Cyrus "Who took my orb? who the fuck took my orb, get out here"
He shouted.
He had gone through so much to get that orb, now somebody took it before he could even do anything, that orb was the key for him to get up here, the orbs are the only thing that can guide someone up here.
Cyrus "It must be that Cult Of Darkness men, I will rip their heads off when I am done with them"
Cyrus cursed, he couldn't believe his hard work has all gone to waste just because someone stole the most precious thing in his position.
He stormed away angrily, but he still had a very hard time trying to get out of the Maze.
______________________
Next day Julian is back on the road and he is heading towards his next destination Hearthome city, he has already delayed his visit to the city so he decides to catch on.
Since he has already taken away the Griseous Orb, he doesn't have to worry about Team Galactic causing any trouble.
Julian 'Now I have to take care of this weird cult and it will be all over once and for all, peace is what a man should always desire'
He though.
Travelling was as usual, with lots of camping and training, his pokemons are slowly growing stronger, he is spending more time with Togepi to increase their relationship and bond, Togepi will only evolve when it becomes very close to its trainer and while it is very happy.
Gible and Victini also are getting very close and with Gengar on their side, they start causing trouble for pokemons of the forest, only to be stopped by Infernape for causing to much trouble, they would then get lectured by Infernape then onward.
Infernape has given up on telling Gengar to not cause trouble because no matter what he does Gengar won't stray away from his path, Infernape is still in peace because Gengar's partner in crime Electivire is not here or the havoc caused by them would be much higher.
Infernape still holds the top position and the little pokemons would listen to him so there was not much trouble in the group.
The training also went well for the little ones, Tyranitar would train the little ones in controlling their raw physical power and their physical defense as well, Absol thought them how to control their special powers and how to utilize their powers for special defense.
Sometime Gengar and Infernape would be in charge as they are the most efficient in both fields, and when it comes to Snorlax he just likes to sleep and sometimes he wakes up and lets the little one play on his belly, eats and goes back to sleep again.
Snorlax just needs to sleep and the next time he gets up he is more powerful than before, only by a little margin but still only a little at his level is still scary.
Same could be said for Infernape and Gengar, Infernape is learning how to adapt to the Omniforce which he started to control little by little when he and Julian performed the Synchronize.
Gengar is also mastering the control over his own dimension and finding his one powers which are completely different from others.
Same could be said for all of Julian's first pokemon, they have already started to find their own special powers that might just help them break the limit.
Tyranitar and Absol still have a long way to go before they even come close to Gengar and Infernape.
The little ones didn't care much as they are still more interested in fooling around them reaching the top.
Julian's life is also going as he thought it would, spending time with his pokemons and traveling around the world, that is what he wanted and that is what he is getting.
Traveling through the forest to find pokemons was the hardest for him, he couldn't find the right one, and when he did, they would run away.
Finding the right pokemons in Sinnoh is harder than he thought.
Since he is already near Hearthome city, he decided to visit the city and defeat the gym then go on a search for his next pokemon.
Julian 'Hearthome city, here I come'
He looks at the massive city in front of him from a cliff very far away.
He hits the accelerator and drives off.
