Journey Towards Greatness

Julian "Since you know who I am, then I don't need to introduce myself. As for you? What is your position in Cipher?"

Julian asked.

He isn't going to drag this out any more than it should. If this person is smart, he will start talking without being threatened. But there is always the possibility of them not cooperating.

Julian wondered what this person would choose, as he didn't mind sending them back to the hell Gengar put them through.

The leader looked at Julian and then back at Gengar. He knows it is in his best interest to talk and he also knows that if he doesn't, he will be sent back to that hell.

He knew this because he would do the same. If you have a prison that can mentally torture the fuck out of your captive, why not use it to its full capability?

The leader then started to speak.

Leader "We are the elite hunter group in Cipher. Our job is to hunt and capture legendary and mystical pokemon or pokemons of similar status"

He answered.

Julian "And what do you do after you capture these pokemons?"

Leader "We hand them over to one of the admins who takes them away from further experimentation"

Julian "So you wanted to capture Marshadow and perform experiments on it?"

Leader "Yes, but that Marshadow was a little special"

Julian "Special? How?"

Leader "The Marshadow showed overwhelming control of its own energy, our scientists were fascinated by the Marshadow and wanted to perform experiments on it. They believe it is the key to perfect shadow pokemons and have complete control over them"

Julian "That's it?"

Leader "Yes, and even if their theory was not accurate, they can still force shadowfication on Marshadow to see how it will react compared to other legendary pokemons because of its typing"

Hearing this, Julian's eyes turned cold. He knew that he made the right decision to eradicate this organization from the face of the world.

Julian "So other than hunting pokemon, you don't have any other significance in Cipher?"

Julian asked.

Leader "Well, since we are among the elites, sometimes we are asked to escort some important members"

Julian didn't say anything and turned towards Gengar and gave him and signal before walking away.

The leader looked confused as to why Julian suddenly stopped questioning him. What he doesn't know is that he really doesn't need to do it. He can just make Gengar extract it from his head painfully.

And before he could even realize that he was doomed, his body started to get dragged into the shadow realm once again.

Leader "NOOOO! You lied to me, you need to let me go"

He shouted, making Julian stop. Julian then turned around and looked at the leader.

Julian "What are you talking about? I never said I will let you go. You assumed it, and I didn't even need you to open your mouth. I would have extracted it from your head, anyway"

Julian said and continued walking back to his tent.

The leader stared at Julian's back with wide eyes while gritting his teeth in anger.

Leader "You fuckerrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!"

He screamed as he and his teammates got dragged into the shadow realm again, but that isn't all.

Once they were sent back to the seventh level, Gengar approached each one of them separately and started extracting their memories.

The pain of their memory being extracted made them scream in agony, giving it all with their lungs, but it was of no use as their voice didn't reach anyone's ear inside the empty, dark, lightless void.

All of them are not a lost cause, three are already broken and one is about to. The leader is mentally tough, but even he won't be able to last long in this nothingness before losing his mind.

Once they become mindless idiots, Gengar would dump them off somewhere, as he had been doing for a long time. He doesn't want to fill up his realm with useless humans.

Back to Julian, he called Marshadow, out in the open once again to introduce him to his other pokemons.

One by one Julian's pokemon came out of their Pokeball and looked at Marshadow. Everyone is curious about the new addition to the family.

Julian then tapped on his pocket to wake up Crystal as it is a very heavy sleeper. It won't get up until Julian nudged him awake.

Crystal popped its head out while rubbing its eyes with its tiny hands and then looked around. Its eyes then fell on Marshadow and got excited.

It immediately snapped out of its drowsy state and flew towards Marshadow with enthusiasm. The sudden approach from this unknown pokemon took Marshadow back, but from his experience and sense, Marshadow could tell that this pokemon, which is even smaller than him, is very strong.

Crystal waved its little hand in front of Marshadow, greeting him. Marshadow was confused, but put his hand forward to greet Crystal as well.

Big mistake.

Crystal suddenly grabbed Marshadow's hand and started to go crazy, lifting Marshadow off the ground and spinning him around, trying to have fun, but only for Crystal.

The speed Crystal is moving might be normal to it, but a young pokemon like Marshadow is not used to such fast movements.

Julian had to step in before Crystal scares away Marshadow.

Julian grabbed Crystal by its tail and stopped it. Crystal got confused as to why Julian stopped it and looked at him.

Julian "You should let go of Marshadow. He isn't feeling well"

Julian said.

Crystal moved its head to the side in confusion and looked down at Marshadow. and saw his eyes spinning in dizziness.

Realizing what it has done, Crystal let go of Marshadow and pulled out its tongue, and rubbed the back of its tiny head, trying to play this off as a mistake.
