Chapter 499 - Cat And Mouse
Seeing Julian closed his eyes completely and falling into a meditative state, Crystal got curious, it came out of his pocket and tried to waking him up by poking his cheek, pulling his hair and nose but it was of no use, Crystal gave up and decided to copy him and see what is Julian really doing.
Crystal closed its eyes and tried to stay calm for a few seconds but got bored pretty soon, it opened its eyes and looked at Julian trying to figure out what Julian is really up to.
Crystal thought that Julian might be even sleeping right now, it flew up towards Julian's forehead and touched its red crystal on his forehead to access his mind.
Crystal as the ability to read minds when it comes in contact with any other person or pokemon, this ability has been really useful to Crystal in many different scenarios but right now it found nothing but blackness inside Julian's head.
Seeing its ability is of no use Crystal decided to do something else, it floated out of the tent while being invisible so nothing can notice it, Crystal then looked around to see if there is anything to do for fun, it noticed some people walking around with guns in their hands and few pokemons following behind them, Crystal never understood these guns that people carry, it seemed dangerous but it could easily block them off as if it were nothing but people still feared them.
Crystal then saw few pokemons eating food so it decided to have some fun and bother them by taking away their food but before it could do so it was stopped by Gengar.
Crystal turned around and saw Gengar grabbing its tail and shaking his head with a grin on his face, Crystal was surprised by this, it didn't expect Gengar to notice it at all, it has been trying to perfect the art of disappearing for months not but for some reason, Crystal can never fool Julian, Infernape and Gengar.
Julian knew Crystal will do something if someone is not paying any attention to it so he decided to let Gengar take care of Crystal, well Gengar was not the best option but he was strong enough to not let any harm come to Crystal.
Crystal looked at Gengar with its big eyes making a very innocent face, of course, Gengar cannot fall for Crystal's cuteness so he looked away.
Gengar [Ge, I cannot let little Crystal have its way]
Gengar though but he suddenly noticed that Crystal made an escape by slipping its tail away from Gengar's grip while he got distracted, he looked around in confusion, trying to find Crystal, he then noticed Crystal at near the camp's gate waving it's small had at him with its little tongue sticking out teasing him.
Gengar sighed and followed behind Crystal, it was his fault for teaching Crystal how to do mischief now he is regretting it, Crystal flew out of the camp and wandered into the dark forest, Gengar also increased his pace and followed right behind Crystal, the chase of cat and mouse began.
Crystal being Crystal though this is another game and started to go round and round around the tree trying to confuse Gengar but this won't work, Gengar went straight through the trees and caught up to Crystal.
Crystal, of course, didn't want to give up, it suddenly launched a shadow ball at Gengar causing him to startle, the Shadow ball him but it had no effect on Gengar but it was able to shake him off as Crystal once again created some distance between them.
Gengar got past the smoke that the Shadow Ball created and looked around to locate Crystal, he noticed Crystal heading deeper into the forest, Gengar giggled and went behind Crystal.
He was not serious before but now Crystal wanted to piss him off, his speed increased several times and appeared right in front of Crystal startling it.
Crystal once again pulled out a Shadow Ball out of nowhere and tossed it at Gengar at point-blank range but Gengar just swallowed it whole, seeing its attack didn't work Crystal just shot forward and went right through Gengar's body while it giggled.
Gengar was surprised as well by this, but he suddenly realized that Crystal is a normal type and it can easily go through Gengar's body as it's immune to Ghost-type pokemons.
Ghost-type pokemons are the most mysterious pokemons in the world, there are a lot of them but none of them can be studied like any other pokemons, people still don't know where they came from, how they came to be and how is it possible for them to reproduce even though they are completely dead, they have no heart, brain or muscles, they are just a living body of energy to which they have full control over and can present them in any state or form.
The chase once again began and suddenly both Crystal and Gengar found themselves inside the enemy's camp, they looked at each other and back at the enemy camp.
They looked at each other again and started to giggle, they are about to do something and the Elite guards of the underworld won't like it one bit.
