Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 718 - A Map?

Julian entered through the gate and entered into the headquarters, there are still some gang members here but they quickly backed away as they saw Julian walking towards them, they saw what he and his Garchomp just did and they are not stupid enough to block him.

Julian directed walked towards the ancient monument, the gang members who were guarding this are all ran away as soon as they saw Julian walking towards them, they saw what just happened to one of their own just a few minutes ago, just like him they were also Elite gang members but he still got destroyed along with many other gang members. ??

They knew they had no chance against Julian so they didn't bother to fight back, they just ran away, they decided to go and inform the Gang Leader, their boss about this.

Julian watched at the gang members run away in fear from him, he then puts his focus on the ancient monument that is in front of him, as he looks at them, he sees the carvings of Zekrom now more clear than before.

At first, it was a little blurry but he could make it out by looking at the lightning patterns around this pokemon but now everything is clear, the wall of this monument is filled with ancient writings depicting the legends of this pokemon.

But to Julian these didn't matter, he decided to walk in and check out what these gang members are actually protecting, after entering the monument, he noticed more wall carvings and paintings of ancient civilization here in Unova.

But these monuments are not that old either compared to the ones found in Sinnoh, the history of these monuments are at maximum 1000 years old when the original dragon split into three.

According to the internet, Unova is the youngest region compared to its neighbor, the oldest being Sinnoh, Unova's age was young compared to other regions so some of its histories were never lost, they are forgotten but never lost.

The League Headquarters here in Unova has dedicated a lot of money and resources to preserve their history, Julian just didn't understand why the league ignored these monuments, and on top of that this city has three of them.

Julian looked around and was fascinated by all the paintings and carvings, the amount of talent and time it must have taken for whoever made these must be immense, Julian is even more surprised that these things are still being preserved by these goons who were clearly fishy in Julian's opinion.

They acted like any gangs but there was something off about them, putting the thought about the gang to the back of his mind, he continued to explore the ancient ruins

After looking around he found a path that went deeper into the ground, with ancient monuments like this, it is expected to have some kind of underground passage to protect the thing that is kept inside, he walked down the path with Darmanitan as he lit up the torches that were stuck into the walls.

After Darmanitan lit up the passage, it was more clear to Julian, these walls are filled with ancient scriptures as well but these ones are a little different from the ones he saw in the main hall of the monument, these words were a little modern compared to them.

The words of today seem to be a modification of these words itself, as time passed these words changed and people found more efficient ways to use them, and the way people speak changed as well.

He tried to read these words and understood some, it seemed like some kind of prayer that the people of the ancient time used, Julian continued forward and soon found himself at the end of the path, there was nothing here except a large painting on the wall.

This painting looked like some kind of map but it looked incomplete, Julian tried to figure it out which part of the region is this map from, he then found some points on the map that resembled the ones of today.

Julian "This is a very old map of Unova"

He figures out that this map was of the old Unova but this one is incomplete.

Julian "This only looks like a quarter of the map, where is the rest?"

He questioned himself that is when he suddenly heard footsteps preaching his direction, he expected this to happen, the gang members must have informed their boss or Gang Leader about Julian's sudden visit to their headquarters.

Julian turned around and saw a bunch of shadows appearing at the corner of the wall as the group got closer, soon he saw the people coming in, right in front of the group is a middle-aged man with thick beard and mustache, he has thick black hair on top and white hairs on his side, the people behind him are the same gang members that ran away after seeing Julian.

The middle-aged man looked at Julian and turned back to his men.

"You may all leave, I will talk to him alone"

He said. When the gang members heard this they were surprised but terrified for their boss's safety as well.

"But boss, he is a dangerous man"

One of them said.

"If he is really as dangerous as you say, it won't matter if you all stay here, now go"

The boss said while looking at his gang members, the gang members realized that their boss was telling the truth and they also remembered the horror that Julian and his pokemon really are and they don't want to experience it again.
