It took half a day for Cynthia to reach Pastoria city, she didn't notice that a group of people has been following her secretly, she is too worried about Julian right now, she cannot think of anything else.
She soon arrives at the front of the hotel that Julian mentioned in the message that he sent her, she walked into the hotel and asked the receptionist about the room where Julian is staying, once she got the information she entered the lift in a hurry, she then noticed a man in grey clothes walk in with her, he is wearing a hat covering his eyes.
Cynthia glanced at him and felt something off, she is not naive, she knows when someone is following her.
Cynthia 'Maybe that is why he said to not call out his name, Julian expected them to follow me, but how did he know and who are these men?'
She started to think.
She also held her Garchomp's Pokeball in her other hand ready to fend off this man if he tries to attack her, lucky for her this person didn't attack her, he just stood there.
The elevator stopped and the door opened, Cynthia got out of the elevator and walked towards the room where Julian is currently staying, she noticed the man who was with her in the elevator also walked out and walked the other way and stopped in front of a door and took out a key card and tried to open the door.
Cynthia glanced at him and noticed him peeking at her.
She already knew that this person was following her so she didn't mind it at all, she rang the doorbell while waiting for Julian to open the door, the door opened and she saw Julian covered in red clothes from head to toe walkout, he looked left and right, he saw the man in grey and nodded at Cynthia.
She also nodded and walked in, once they were in the locked the door behind them.
Julian "Gengar, make sure no one gets near this room"
He said and walked towards the bed, Gengar separated from his shadow and passed through the wall.
Cynthia, on the other hand, is shocked by seeing a particular pokemon on the bed beside Crystal, she saw Uxie sleeping peacefully.
Cynthia "You found Uxie?"
She exclaimed in shock.
Julian "Yes, I did, I got here as soon as I got my hands on Uxie"
He said and sighed.
Cynthia "This is good news, then why were you so serious and who are those men following me?"
She asked.
She didn't know what was going on, it felt too weird.
Julian "It's about the mole in the League Headquarters"
He said in a serious tone.
Cynthia "What do you mean?"
She asked, she didn't understand what Julian is talking about, she thought that they had caught the mole.
Julian "The mole is none other than the chief, he has been working with the underworld for years"
He said.
Cynthia "WHAT?"
Cynthia exclaimed loudly and sat down on the bed, shocked, she couldn't believe what she just heard, she didn't want to believe it but she also knew that Julian has no reason to lie to her.
Cynthia "How did you find out?"
She asked in a low voice, still trying to process what Julian just told her.
Julian "Those three men who were with me, the Chief ordered them to kill me when we get inside the island but they failed, I found out about this from them"
He said.
Cynthia "Where are they?"
She asked.
Julian "You shouldn't be concerned about them"
He said.
Cynthia looked into Julian's eyes and nodded her head, some things were best left untold.
Cynthia "Now what?"
Julian "The Chief has been trying to kill you for a while, during the time you were injured he was behind it all, he asked the doctor to act with the nurse, when he heard that I will be coming to see you, he decided to hurry up and kill you but the plan failed, the doctor already knew what to do if the plan failed, he played us all with that nurse.
Now that I ran away from the island, the Chief knows that you know about him, he will try to eliminate both you and me"
Julian said.
Cynthia "What do we do?"
She asked, worried.
Julian "Head to Lake Acuity, our priority is to save Uxie, once it is back in the lake, we can take care of the Chief and his men"
Hearing Julian's words Cynthia agreed to it and nodded her head, Julian was right Uxie has the most priority right now, its safety is Sinnoh's safety and Cynthia cannot risk that.
Julian "Good, we will be leaving soon, till then rest well"
He said and sat down next to Uxie and placed his hand on its head, Cynthia sat beside him and placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes and fell asleep, she hasn't slept properly for these few days as she kept worrying about him.
Julian smiled and continued supplying Uxie with Omniforce little by little, he didn't want to overload Uxie with concentrated Omniforce that is inside his body.
