Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 268 - Brave Victini

Julian woke up early as he wants to continue his search for Victini, after a while, he arrives at the hot spring.

As he expected there are pokemons around the spring running around and enjoying their time, he let out his pokemon and let them walk in and get familiarize with other pokemons, then he will also walk in so that the pokemons present there won't get afraid and attack him. ??

He only let his small pokemon enter, in no way shape or form he would send his old pokemons because just their presence would scare all the pokemon around the vicinity.

Manaphy was the first to enter and familiarize with other pokemons as its nature allowed it to bond with others very easily, Crystal is very mysterious so it caught the attention of other pokemons, Gible being hyperactive forced his way into the group and familiarized with them, Cranidos was a little shy at first but Gible came to rescue and dragged Cranidos into the group.

Soon all of them were playing around, Julian smiled seeing this.

He decided to walk in but he saw Victini once again, it is looking at his pokemon with big curious eyes.

Especially Manaphy as they both are the Pixies of the pokemon world along with Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Shaymin, these are the six pixies know to man.

There might be others but have never been discovered.

It also looked at Crystal as Crystal is very mysterious even to a mythical pokemon, Gible and Cranidos are very normal but being with the other two also made them attracted to Victini.

Crystal and Manaphy, of course, noticed the guest that is spying on them.

Manaphy floated towards the bush that Victini is hiding, seeing Manaphy approaching it Victini tried to escape but Crystal appeared behind it and tapped its back, causing it to startle.

Crystal then giggled after seeing Victini getting scared, Victini seemed embarrassed by this.

Julian just let his pokemon do the magic for him so that when he meets Victini it won't run away like before.

After five minutes it seems that Victini is not shy anymore and has come out in the open, it seems to enjoy playing with Julian's pokemon.

Just when Julian is about to enter he is interrupted again, the same Magmortar came again to interrupt the fun.

Julian is getting pissed from this Magmortar.

It walked in a roared and this time it looked at Victini with anger, it knew Victini was the one who sent it flying twice as it caught a glimpse of Victini the last time it was sent flying.

Victini stepped forward and looked bravely at Magmortar, this little one is brave and won't take a defeat for an answer.

Even though Victini is mythical it's still not strong enough to take down Magmortar, the previous two times was pure luck as it caught Magmortar by surprise.

Magmortar doesn't seem to care about Victini as it could tell its the stronger one and it would bully the weak if it gets a chance.

Magmortar suddenly blasts a Flamethrower at Victini.

Julian "Manaphy, use Water Pulse along with Bubble Beam"

Manaphy sends a ball of glowing water at the Flamethrower and intercepts it but it gets destroyed by the Flamethrower but it has been weakened, the Bubble Beam comes in a neutralizes the Flamethrower.

Julian "Cranidos, Headbutt its knee"

Cranidos charged at Magmortar's knee, it cannot see Cranidos due to the smoke created by the collision of the Bubble Beam and the Flamethrower.

Cranidos connects and with the power behind his attack, Magmortar comes crashing down on its knee.

Julian "Gible, use Dig then Dragon Claw"

Gible digs a hole in front of the falling Magmortar, it comes crashing down as its face gets stuck in the hole Gible just dug up.

Magmortar can see Gible underground with a grin over his face, Gible charges and smashes Magmortar's face with a powerful Dragon Claw.

Magmortar is thrown back as its face comes out of the hole and it goes and crashes into a tree.

Julian "Crystal, use Thunder Shock"

Crystal giggles and blasts a powerful wave of Thunder Shock, zapping Magmortar, it faints after that.

Victini looks in awe as the four work together and took down the big bully, it then looks at Julian who commanded these four.

A person with a brave heart and undying will, a perfect partner that all Victini desire to meet one day.

Julian then looks at his shadow.

Julian "Gengar you know what to do next"

As he says this, Gengar slowly comes out of his shadow.

Gengar "Gegegegege"

Seeing Gengar some of the pokemon in the area gets scared but seeing Gengar didn't even look at them they sighed in relief, Gengar approached the Magmortar.

Magmortar got up and saw two terrifying red eyes staring at it, it felt that these eyes were staring into his soul.

Gengar [Look little fellow, if I ever see you here ever again, I will hunt you down and take away your soul and harvest it, gegegegegege]

Hearing this Magmortar got scared, it got so scared that it ran away screaming, it decided to never come back to this valley ever again.

Gengar laughed evilly and returned to Julian's shadow once again, the surrounding when back from chilly to normal as if nothing happened at all.

Julian "Looks like that fellow won't bully you ever again"

Hearing what Julian said all the pokemon became very happy and some of them approached him as they felt his aura and became peaceful.

Victini stared at Julian and approached him.

Victini "VIIIIIII"

Julian looked at Victini as it called for him, he was surprised as it seemed Victini wants to battle with him.

Julian "Do you want to battle?"

Victini nodded its head.

Julian "Great, Manaphy we are going to have a battle"

Manaphy got excited and joined Julian and stared at its opponent.
