Kapitel 329: Crystal Meets Azelf

Next day Julian woke up because Crystal is poking his cheeks with its little finger, he opened his eyes and saw Crystal giggling on top of his nose.

Julian got up and looked outside, he noticed that the sun is already up, he looked at his watch and saw it was 10 AM.

Julian "So that is why you are on top of my face, you are hungry"

Julian said and got out of the tent.

Crystal wakes up at 10 AM exactly and wants to drink a whole bottle of MooMoo milk.

Julian 'I slept for quite a while'

Crystal keeps poking his cheek to give the MooMoo milk, Julian soon gave it a whole bottle or Crystal will be poking him till he does that.

Holding the bottle that is as big as itself, Crystal started to drink from the bottle.

Julian soon started to give breakfast to his other pokemons and started to remove the tents, after his pokemons had their food Julian hit the road again.

He is just a few hours away from Lake Valor.

Julian kept riding and soon found himself in front of Lake Valor and what greeted him surprised him, he saw many people camping across the lake with cameras.

Julian 'Are they idiots? they think Azelf would just appear if they surround the lake with their cameras in their hand'

Julian thought and put his bike away, he walked towards the lake and saw that there are more people than he thought, just because some camera caught Azelf.

Julian walked towards the water and bent down, Crystal popped its head out and looked at its reflection on the water, it came out and touched the water with its little fingers and started to happily make circles on the surface.

Julian "Crystal not now, why don't you stay in, when all these people leave, we will take a careful look over the lake"

Julian said.

Crystal nodded and went back into his pocket.

Julian walked towards a tree and sat down looking at the people around here, the news was announced a week ago and soon this news will die, the people here look bored and tired, even though they have set up their cameras, none of them were actually on it.

Julian knew they will soon leave, he just has to wait for a while and soon these people will leave.

He closed his eyes and zoned out.

After some time he felt his cheeks being poked, he opened his eyes and saw it was actually evening and the last person on near the lake is packing his stuff and leaving, he turned to the side and saw Crystal looking at him with puffed cheeks, it is angry because it didn't get its MooMoo milk, Julian quickly takes one out and gives it to Crystal.

Crystal happily sits down on his shoulder and starts to drink the MooMoo milk, Julian looks up the sky and see its already orange.

Julian 'Looks like I zoned out'

He thought, he was getting bored and he didn't even realize that he fell asleep.

Julian 'Now I will have trouble sleeping tonight'

He thought and got up, he saw the last person leave, now that no one is around the area Julian looks around to confirm one last time, he then walk towards the water and bends down.

Last time he did that was today morning, he let Crystal play with it and noticed Crystal using Omniforce to play around the lake, Crystal seems to be very happy to touch the water, this time Crystal didn't wait and dives into the water.

Julian [Gengar, follow Crystal and this time hide your presence]

Julian sent a telepathic message to Gengar, Gengar got out of his shadow and went into the water following Crystal, last time in Lake Verity the same thing happened, Crystal was attracted to the waters of these lakes, Gengar easily blended into the dark water as the sun is about to set and the light is not reaching the depth of the lake.

Crystal soon started to move around and greet the pokemons inside the lake, while Crystal familiarizes itself with other pokemons in the lake, a pair of eyes watch Crystal.

Feeling the gaze Crystal turns around and looks at the direction where it sensed the gaze coming from, Crystal giggled and rushed towards the direction.

Crystal suddenly bumped into a forcefield which shattered like a bubble revealing Azelf, Azelf looks surprised by what happened.

Crystal happily circles around Azelf and tries to grab onto its tail to play with it.

The barrier which Crystal just broke is a dimension separate from the real world, it is were Azelf hides and looks after the lake, seeing it shatter like a bubble just by the touch of this little pokemon made Azelf cautious for a few seconds.

But it soon calmed down as it noticed Crystal only wants to play, Azelf also joined in and started to play with Crystal.

Crystal started to chase around Azelf as if they are playing a game of tag, this is, of course, being watched by Gengar and all this is being sent to Julian through his mind.

Julian smiles seeing this.

He has read about the lake guardians, these three were also created by Arceus but they cannot access Omniforce but they do seem to be protected by it, that is why Crystal seems attracted to them and anything that they touch, this lake is the home of Azelf so every drop of water has its scent and Crystal feels happy around Omniforce.

Finding Omniforce in other places except around Julian makes Crystal want to explore the area and see who or what could be the reason behind its existence.

Julian 'Looks like they are coming up'

Julian sees Crystal and Azelf coming to the surface so he gets up and waits for them to surface.
