Journey Towards Greatness

Tapu Lele didn't like Crystal's sudden approach and it getting so close to it, even though Crystal feels familiar. Tapu Lele is still a ruthless pokemon that doesn't hold back.

Tapu Lele didn't want Crystal near it, so it lashed out with a powerful attack. It didn't care if Crystal felt familiar or not, such actions has consequences in Tapu Lele's eyes.

It used Psyshock and blasted it right on Crystal's face. There is no holding back. Tapu Lele intends to hurt Crystal badly, and it didn't even think about it. It always goes all out and gives its opponent no chance to counter.

A huge explosion erupted, grabbing Julian's attention, who was sipping his drink. He looked at the explosion in surprise. He didn't expect Tapu Lele to attack right off the bat, as he knows Crystal will never attack first.

Now he just hopes Crystal is in a playful mood so that it doesn't hurt Tapu Lele.

Tapu Lele looked at the smoke in front of it and thought that it has successfully dealt with the problem, but as the smoke slowly disappeared, Crystal was still right in front of it giggling with its tiny hands in front of its mouth

Tapu Lele was surprised to see Crystal completely unharmed. Crystal was confused at first, but then it thought that Tapu Lele wants to play because the attack from Tapu Lele only tickled Crystal.

So it decided to play back and used the exact amount of force Tapu Lele used to attack it. Crystal also used Psyshock and blasted it at Tapu Lele.

Tapu Lele sensed the attack coming before Crystal even used it as it sensed the sudden spike of psychic energy around them.

It quickly submerged its body into its hard shell and completely blocked off the attack. Unlike Tapu Koko, its shell isn't attached to its hands but to its lower body shaped like a vase, and there is a cap on top of its head that completes the shell in the shape of an egg.

Crystal blasted the Psyshock on the pink patterned shell and sent it shooting through the air. The pink egg-shaped shell crashed into a tree and completely uprooted it.

Once Tapu Lele's body stopped moving, it popped its head back up to look at Crystal, but this time, there was caution in its eyes.

It knows that it is no match for this strange pokemon. If not for its resistance against psychic-type moves and its super hard shell, it might have been seriously injured by Crystal.

Knowing what is best to do right now, it made a run for its life. It's not going to stay here and take any more attacks from the little monster that is in front of it.

And with a blur, Tapu Lele disappeared from Crystal's sight.

Crystal turned its head and looked in the direction where Tapu Lele escaped and thought of chasing after it but Julian interrupted its thought.

Julian "Crystal, get back here"

Julian yelled.

He knew that Crystal would have chased down Tapu Lele till it gets exhausted and stop and Julian was in no mood to chase after Crystal.

Crystal came back disappointed that Julian didn't allow it to play with its new friend, but within a few seconds, it completely forgot about it and started running around with Wimpod and Grubbin.

Julian smiled as he sees Crystal going back to its previous activity, giving him his peace and quiet back.

The sun soon started to set, and the sky was turning dark. Julian fed his pokemons and went to bed. Tomorrow will be another long day for him. Julian turned off the lights and went to sleep.

A new morning and Julian woke up as the morning rays entered his room. He sat up on his bed and yawned while stretching his arms. Today he will continue looking for Cipher or Totem pokemons.

Julian hopes that if he sticks to looking for a totem den, he will also find a cipher base just like the one he found on Melemele island.

Julian performed his usual morning routine and got ready for the day, as he predicts another long, uneventful day for him.

He just got lucky on Melemele island to stumble upon a totem den so he doesn't expect to find it today, but he hasn't given hope.

Julian rode on Charizard and entered the dense jungle again, but this time he decided to visit the volcano, he wants to get a Firium-Z. He can go through the Wela Volcano park and challenge the totem pokemon up there.

Another Z-crystal in the bag will increase his arsenal. Though Julian doesn't need it right now, he knows he will need it in the future.

With how this world works, trouble follows one after the other. Julian doesn't believe he will only have to take care of Cipher here.

Charizard flew fast and soon landed on the foot of the volcano as he needs to talk with the Kahuna of this island.
