Journey Towards Greatness

Julian was ready to go, he fed his pokemons and went out of the pokemon center to see that Steev and his Bulbasaur has almost learned energy ball when Steev saw Julian he waved his hand at Julian seeing Steev waving at him he just ignored it as he didn't want to do anything with him anymore, He hoped on his bike and drove off on his way to lavender city he stopped near a riverside to rest for sometime and do some training all his pokemons were improving drastically and while doing this he got carried away and stopped keeping track of time, when it was evening and when the sun hit the bottom to turn the sky orange he realized that he lost the track on time and had spent too much time training his pokemons.

Julian "Shit, I spent too much time here I have to hurry up and reach Lavender town before nightfall, guys get back inside your Pokeball we need to hurry" ​​

He sent all his pokemon inside their Pokeball and hit the road again with full speed on his bike, luckily he reached Lavender town before 9 pm.

Lavender town was a very small town with very few people residing here and most of them where old people or they had lost their precious partners (pokemons) here, Lavender town was literally a graveyard where trainers come and bury their dead pokemon in the pokemon tower, sometimes people of this town would see spirits and ghost of pokemons roaming around the pokemon tower, people also come and visit this town to give prayers and respect to those who have passed along after facing the test of time.

As Julian entered the town he saw small houses with lights still on, he went and knock on the door of the house which is close to him and after a second the door is opened by an old man who looks like to be in his 80s, he looks like a kind old man and invites Julian inside, inside the house is a very cozy and warm feeling, the fire is burning under the chimney and which was the only source of light in the house the house was made of wood and straws but it still felt very comfortable

Old man "Young man would you like to drink some tea?"

Julian "Thank you mister and I would love some tea"

Old man "Then sit on that chair until I prepare some tea"

Julian walks towards a chair in front of the fire and sits there he starts to look around and sees a Cubone sleeping at a corner of the room, Julian walks towards Cubone and tries to pet it but Cubone starts to shiver as it looks scared, seeing this Cubone scared so much Julian takes out a candy from his pouch and gives it to him

Julian "Take this little guy, eat it, I won't hurt you"

Cubone lifts his head and smells the candy, it smells good but he is still wary he looks at Julian but after looking at Julian for some time he feels like Julian means no harm so he approaches Julian and eats the candy.

Julian "Looks like you enjoy eating candy, here I have some more, eat it"

He gives Cubone some more candy and he happily eats it, after eating all the candy he looks at Julian to ask for more candy

Julian "Sorry but I don't have anymore, how about you play which my friend here"

Julian brings out Kabuto to play with Cubone when Kabuto comes out Cubone becomes wary but when Kabuto approaches Cubone and greets him he abandons all his worries and also greets Kabuto as they start to play running around the house, Julian walks back to the chair and sits watching these two play around, after some time the old man comes out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand and he looks at Cubone happily playing around he also becomes happy, he walks towards Julian and sits opposite to him placing the tray on the table, he pours some tea into a cup and give it to Julian

Old man "Its good that you came, I have not seen Cubone this happy for a very long time"

Julian "What happened?"

Old man "First Cubone was really cheerful and would always come to my house to eat food and take some back to his mother, but two months ago when Cubone was near the pokemon tower witch his mother they got attacked by a group of people wearing black uniforms so that they could sell the bone on Cubone's head but to protect Cubone his mother sacrificed her self and died in the process and made the people who attacked them flee, but Cubone was scared and didn't trust anyone, he directly came to me and hasn't left the house for more than two months"

Julian "These people you talked about wearing a black dress do you know anything about them?"

Old man "I don't know anything about them, but they had an R on their dress, that what I heard from the person who was nearby at that time, Once I visited the pokemon tower to pay respect to her soul but I saw her ghost wandering around, it looked like she was searching for Cubone, I tried to bring him there but he was too scared to go there again"

Julian "I see, I was planning to go to the pokemon tower to catch a ghost type pokemon, I will try to bring Cubone there"

Old man "I hope you can do that, then his mother will be able to pass to the afterlife after meeting him"

Julian finishes drinking the tea and starts to walk towards Cubone and Kabuto who were playing when they see Julian approaching them they stop playing.

Julian "Hey Cubone why don't we go to the Pokemon tower, I heard your mother was waiting there so she could meet you one more time"

Hearing Julian talk about his mother and the pokemon tower Cubone gets scared and denies to go their, seeing this Julian approaches Cubone and pats his head

Julian "Don't worry there is nothing to be scared, you see Kabuto is very strong and I also have a lot of powerful friends who very strong who can easily defeat anyone they face, so you don't have to fear anyone with me and my friends around"

Cubone listens to Julian and hesitates slightly then Kabuto comes to the rescue and reassures Cubone that he will be totally safe after hearing from Kabuto Cubone agrees to visit the pokemon tower with them.

They get ready as Julian picks up Cubone and places Kabuto on top of his head and now they are ready to go to the pokemon tower

Old man "Cubone be careful and say a proper goodbye to your mother, and Julian please take care of Cubone as he is the only remaining family I have"

Julian "Don't worry Mr. Smith I will take care of Cubone and bring him back safely"

And so they head towards the pokemon tower after walking for some time they finally reach in front of the pokemon tower, it's still night time and this makes the pokemon tower look scarier, the pokemon tower looks like a pillar and it stands 15 meters tall, it has small windows on each side of the tower

Julian "Well it looks scary but there is nothing to be scared of there are some ghost pokemons and some actual ghost as they cannot harm anyone its ok I guess, well let's go in".
