Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 492 - Solaceon Ruins

As Julian decided to leave another phone call arrived in Cynthia's phone, she answered and Julian saw a frown creeping on her face, once the call ended she looked at him.

Julian "What happened?" ??

He asked.

Cynthia "Cyrus is already in Sinnoh, a yacht was found in a private beach with dead bodies inside, some prints were found that belonged to Cyrus, he seems to have killed the guards of the Underworld and left the yacht, this means that he escaped from the Island, the underworld is after him, they will surely try to interfere and try to capture Cyrus before us"

She said.

Julian "I see, try to find what Cyrus did and inform me, I will be leaving"

He said and left after kissing Cynthia goodbye, he got on Garchomp's back and flew towards Solaceon town where the ruins are, it didn't take long for him to travel such distance, with Garchomp's current flying speed it was really easy to travel around Sinnoh, it only took him four hours before he finally arrived at Solaceon town, he has been in this town before but never stayed for too long, he didn't know the ruins here would be this important.

He asked some locals about the siting of Unowns and some of them said that they have seen them with their own eyes while others say that they are just hoax, Julian didn't know who to believe until he sees them with his own eyes.

He asked a local for the directions and finally arrived at the east side of the town where the ruins are located, there seem to be two entrances to cave entrances into the ruins, both of them are far apart from each other, one of the top and the other at the bottom.

Julian entered the cave which is at the bottom with no though, he didn't have time to waste around thinking about the cave he should enter.

After entering the cave he could see nothing, it was totally dark, he had to call out Infernape to light up the path before him so he can see properly, once Infernape came out Julian could easily see the walls and the carvings on them.

He saw drawings on Unowns everywhere, each of these Unowns was different from each other, he noticed that they were very similar to alphabets but they were more than just 26 that he is used to, some were very different from the alphabets from the current generation.

Julian 'It seems like Unowns were the inspiration for the human language of this world, I always wondered how a wild pokemon could understand something a human says, maybe it's possible because these worlds are derived from the Unowns itself? or maybe I am thinking too much into it'

He thought and put it aside, he came here to search for answers, Cynthia said that Team Galactic came here to do something and if he is right, this should have been right before Uxie was captured by Cyrus.

Even though Uxie is pure of heart it shouldn't have been captured so easily so there can only be one possible explanation, something from this ruin helped Cyrus obtain the Griseous Orb and captured Uxie so Julian needs to figure out what it is. If it is possible once, it's possible again and he cannot let that happen.

He went deeper into the ruins and he started to encounter some weird things, he realized that he has been walking around circles for five minutes after Infernape informed him about it, Julian is so busy thinking about the stuff that he didn't notice at all and the walls around the cave didn't help at all as it all looked the same.

After carefully picking his ways he finally got out of the maze that he was trapped in to be greeted by another weird path, each of these paths led to a different room, there are three paths and three rooms at the end of it.

Julian called out Absol from his Pokeball and asked him to walk one path, Gengar on the other and he and Infernape on the third path, Absol and Gengar are easily capable of waling through the dark but Julian is still human even with his body as it has been restricted.

Hearing Julian both Absol and Gengar took and path and entered the room, Julian shared their vision and he entered the third room as well.

When he entered the room he saw a small altar in the middle of the room, he could see the same in Gengar and Absol's vision, this small altar has a cut out of a square plate on it, it looks like something to fit perfectly inside it, the cut-outs had unique lines and markings in them which branched out of the alter and deep into the dark corner of the room.

Julian instructed Infernape to light up the area, soon he found a small door, it was not big but enough for a human to crawl in easily.

He also saw the same thing in Gengar and Absol's vision.

Julian 'Looks like these altar opens that small door there, what could have been on the other end?'

He thought and decided to crawl up into the small door and check out for himself.
