Journey Towards Greatness

Cynthia "Can you save them?"

She asked. ​​

Julian "I can, Gengar take them in without anyone noticing"

He ordered Gengar since they are already inside an illusion the Team Galactic members are not able to see them but once Gengar starts to mess with the items in the real world it can cause some problem but it doesn't matter anyway, once Gengar has them no matter what these Team Galactic grunts do they won't stand a chance against Julian and Cynthia's power combined.

Gengar blended into the shadow and went directly under the cage, he then passes through it without any resistance, feeling Gengar's presence the mother Zoroark suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the monster that just entered the cage.

To a pokemon like Zoroark, Gengar looks evil no matter how they see him, dark black body, crimson red eyes, and big creepy smile, no one would think Gengar as a cute pokemon from their first look.

The mother Zoroark growled at Gengar to back off while tightly holding onto her pups.

Seeing this situation Julian became alerted, her growl can attract the attention of the grunts until they all are safe Julian doesn't want to get cocky and risk of them being electrocuted, if this cage can electrocute someone or something than it mush have a remote as well so Julian doesn't want to take the chance.

Seeing this Cynthia's Zoroark suddenly makes a lite sound alerting the mother Zoroark, she turns around and sees Zoroark with Cynthia and Julian, Zoroark then tells her to stay calm and the Gengar is here to help them.

Luckily Zoroark's growl didn't alert anyone nearby, Gengar quickly opened a gate to his dimension and sucked the mother Zoroark and her pups inside without any grunts noticing about it, Gengar then got out of the cage and headed back to Julian's shadow.

Julian "We should go outside, this is not the best place for those pups to be brought out"

He said.

Cynthia nodded her head and followed Julian outside the entrance and into a corner where there are no grunts around, Gengar resurfaced from Julian's shadow and opened the gate to his dimensions and brought out the mother Zoroark and her pups.

Seeing his family the Zoroark became emotional and approached them, seeing their father the pups got excited, even though they are weak and haven't eaten for days they still rubbed their cheeks on his legs, they were separated from him for months and where put inside that dangerous cage, even the mother joined the group.

Seeing this both Julian and Cynthia smiled.

Julian "A family huh?"

He said and looked at Cynthia, knowing that Julian is looking at her while thinking about a family she blushed but it was no time for thinking about romance.

Now that they have saved the Zoroark family they need to take care of the grunts and capture Cyrus before he does anything crazy.

Julian "You should put them all inside a Pokeball for now, it's dangerous for them to stay outside"

He said while feeding the mother Zoroark and her pups for berries which rejuvenated their health.

She nodded and took out four pokeballs, one for the mother and three for the pups, they didn't put any resistance and went in willingly s Zoroark told them to do so.

Now that they are safe there is no need for illusions, Zoroark will simply be wasting his energy inside of taking out the grunts in one fell swoop.

Julian and Cynthia walked back to the entrance of the maze and this time the Team Galactic grunts saw them, the person who saw them alerted everyone around by giving off a warning signal.

Hundreds of grunts gathered in front of them while holding onto their pokeballs, even the Underworld guards joined in but they seem to hesitate a little.

Julian looked at them, these guards are more experienced and stronger than the grunts around here, even though their number is below a hundred, it's a lot for Julian's faction.

Julian "Will you take care of Team Galactic?"

He asked her while looking at the guards.

Cynthia "Fine by me, I want to build some connection with Zoroark, what do you say Zoroark? wanna destroy them"

She asked looking at her new partner.

Zoroark nodded his head and looked at the grunts while growling at them while releasing the dark energy inside his body, this energy was much more potent that the time he faced Cynthia, showing that he was holding back a little while battling her which cost him the battle.

Since Cynthia is dealing with the grunts, Julian walked towards the guards who are ready to attack him.

There are five leaders in this group, they were all different captains of their team sent by the underworld to hunt Cyrus but now they are working for him as his offer is really tempting, anyone would be a fool to pass on that even if it means risking their lives.
