Next morning when he woke up he saw Crystal and the others are already up, they have been playing with Azelf all along, he did come late last night so he slept for longer than usual.
He looked at his watch and saw it was 12 PM.
Julian 'Its already afternoon, all that swimming even made me tired'
He thought.
Even though Julian is much stronger than humans of this world and even some pokemons, his body is still not at its peak, he goes through exhaustion after an instance training, and last night swimming was intense.
Seeing that Julian had finally woke up the little ones rushed towards him to get their morning breakfast, Infernape had told them not to disturb Julian as he arrived pretty late at night, the little ones listened to him and let Julian sleep.
Luckily Azelf came to give them a visit so they got occupied by playing with it.
Julian "Ok calm down all of you, you will get your meal"
Julian said and started to prepare the food for all his pokemons, he even served extra for Azelf.
After their bellies are filled Julian let them rest before starting to pack up, he has to leave now, confirming that Azelf is safe he needs to head towards Pastoria City now and to go there he has to go through another huge forest.
He has planned something in his stay at the forest, after saying goodbye to Azelf Julian calls all his pokemon back to their Pokeball and leave the area.
Lake Valor is still at the edge of this forest, he wants to go deeper into the forest, he wants to let his new pokemons experience the wild once again.
After traveling for a few hours Julian finally found and the perfect place to start, he called out all his pokemons.
His pokemons came out and looked around, they saw some trees and bushes filled with berries, there is a small water pond on the side, a perfect place for a picnic.
Julian "Ok everyone, listen to me, Infernape, Gengar, Tyranitar, Absol, and Snorlax you all will be spending three days alone in this huge forest without relying on each other, while the little ones will be with me and train ad battle for three days with wild pokemons"
Hearing Julian his pokemon looked at each other and nodded, the older ones have not done this for quite a long time so they are excited and three days on their own was also new to them.
They nodded happily.
Julian "Ok good, after three days, meet back here and don't cause too much trouble around the forest"
Julian said.
His pokemons nodded, Snorlax on the other hand just zoned off after hearing it, he was forced to wake up by Julian now he goes back to sleep again.
Seeing this Julian laughs and looks at his other pokemon.
Julian "Ok, you guys may leave"
Julian said.
As the older ones nodded and moved out, Infernape and Absol disappeared in a blur, Gengar blended into the shadow and disappeared and Tyranitar just walked away shaking the ground with each step.
In the group of new pokemons, his Gliscor has the most experience among all of them as he had survived all alone till he evolved into a Gliscor and survived further.
Julian "Ok you guys will also be battling a lot, I will just be behind you, all of you have to fight your own fight, I won't be giving food to you guys, you have to get your own food from the forest, I will just be there watching you, all you have to depend on yourself and your friends"
Hearing him his pokemons looked at each other, Gible was excited to start this new thing Julian came up with, his best friend Cranidos also nodded his head and got excited, the others were little down because they won't be able to eat Julian's cooking.
But still, this new experience will help them understand each other and the world outside, if one day they want to leave Julian won't stop them, he would happily let them go, just because he trained them and love them he won't hold them back with himself, sometimes its best for pokemons to just let go and start new.
Julian "Ok let's go then"
Julian said and followed his pokemons as they walked into the forest, he wanted to see what these nine will do in this forest, he would just act like he is not there, he will just watch and see what they do and how they overcome the troubles they will come across in the forest.
They might encounter some powerful pokemon that are way higher level than them, they have to work together to defeat one of them.
Julian turned around and looked at Snorlax and smiled.
Snorlax follows the saying, Eat Sleep Repeat like no other.
Julian 'Let's just hope no one tries to mess with him'.
Julian thought and walked into the forest following his pokemons.
