Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 1369: Time?

Julian "Do you have any idea where he could be?"

Julian asks, as Wes is the only person who knows how to reverse the effect of shadowfication.

Eugan "No, he just disappeared five years ago,"

Eugan answers.

This is not the answer Julian wants to hear, and it sets a frown on his face.

Eugan "Why are you looking for Wes?"

Eugan asks.

Julian "Isn't it obvious? He is the only one who knows how to cure shadow pokemons. Without him, those poor pokemons will continue to suffer."

Julian answers.

Hearing this, Eugan sees Julian in a new light. He realizes that Julian is not here just to avenge but also to help those suffering.

Eugan "... You don't need him,"

Eugan suddenly speaks up, grabbing Julian's utmost attention with his words.

Julian "Do you know how to cure shadow pokemons?"

Julian asks with some hope in his voice.

Eugan "You asked about that platform, right?"

Eugan says signaling to the platform with his head.

Julian "Is that the cure?"

Julian looks back at the ancient crack-riddled platform.

Julian 'It does make sense for Crystal to be attracted to it if it holds some unique power,'

He thinks.

Julian 'I need to get a closer look,'

Eugan "It's just one part of it,"

Eugan says stopping Julian's train of thought.

Julian "What's the other part?"

He asks curiously.

Eugan "Celebi"

Eugan says causing a long silence to follow.

Julian "You mean the mythical Pokemon Celebi?"

Julian asks to confirm what he just heard.

Eugan "Yes,"

Eugan confirms it.

Julian "How does it work?"

Julian asks. If he knows how it works, then maybe he can replicate it.

Eugan "As you know, Celebi is a Pokemon that can travel through time, and that thing over there can be viewed as a power amplifier.

Celebi can't control time in general, but with the help of that platform, it can concentrate on a certain amount of things, whether they are living or inanimate objects, and can influence them with time."

Eugan then begins explaining how Celebi managed to cure all those shadow pokemons

Julian "You are saying that five years ago, Celebi used this platform to cure all those shadow pokemons by reversing their body and soul using time?"

Eugan nods.

Eugan "But it requires a lot of energy. Wes was beside Celebi when they cured all those shadow pokemons. He had to continuously feed Celebi with energy for it to manipulate time on such a large scale,"

Eugan revealed.

Julian "This just complicates everything,"

He murmurs, as he will have to find Celebi to cure all those poor shadow pokemons.

Julian "What about Celebi? Do you know where it was last seen?"

Eugan "It doesn't matter. You will have an easier time finding Wes than Celebi. Celebi travels through time. It might be in the past, future, or some completely different region,"

Julian "You are right,"

He also didn't have any confidence in finding Celebi. Unless fate intervenes, Julian can forget about even getting a glimpse of it. Celebi is an extraordinary Pokemon and theory suggests that there is only one Celebi throughout time.

The Celebi of the past is the same as the one in the present and will be the same in the future as well.

Julian will have an easier time finding most of the mythical and legendary Pokemons than finding Celebi.

Julian 'Looks like I will have to stick to the current plan,'

Julian thinks and brings his attention back to Crystal. He approaches the platform while Eugan keeps close to him.

As soon as he steps within a certain radius of the platform, Julian is hit by a blast of thick Omniforce.

Julian 'I can't doubt the old man's words with what I have in front of me.'

He thinks as he checks out the platform.

The signature of the Omniforce coming from this platform is not something foreign to Julian. He has felt this before.

Julian "Dialga..."

Julian murmurs as he now understands how Celebi was able to access the power of time on such a large scale.

Eugan "DId you say Dialga?"

Eugan, who was close to Julian, heard his murmur and immediately questioned.

Julian "Well, it's the only logical explanation,"

Julian doesn't reveal much. He doesn't want people to know that he can feel the energies of time.

Eugan "Make sense,"

He says and brings his attention back to Crystal, who is by now bored looking at the platform and seeing nothing happen.

Crystal turns its head to look at Eugan, who doesn't interest it much. it then looks at the Pikachu that is sitting on Eugan's shoulder.

Seeing there is someone new to play, Crystal approaches Pikachu and greets it.

"~Mew~" "~kacuuu~"

They both greet each other and instantly become fast friends. They then quickly run off playing whatever game they invented.

Eugan "Is that a Mew?"

Not being able to hold his curiosity any longer, Eugan asks.

Julian "Not exactly. Crystal is a mutant."

Julian didn't lie. Crystal might look like a Mew but because of Omniforce, Crystal's DNA structure is very different and much more advanced than your typical Mew.

Eugan doesn't know what to think of this as the creature in front of him is one of a kind. He knows he will never see anything like Crystal ever again and this makes him happy.

When he was young, Eugan traveled around the world, catching pokemons and learning about them. Seeing Crystal made him reminisce about his childhood. The feeling he got from coming across a Pokemon he had never seen before during his young days traveling is definitely worth cherishing.
