章 281: Fake Orb

Before Julian decided to go to Hearthome city he decided to take a detour to Mt. Coronet, the largest mountain in Sinnoh and also its highest peak, this mountain is surrounded by mystery and no one till this day has reached the top of this mountain, it is said that this mountain holds the Spear pillar which can open the gateway to the dimensions where the Creation trio lives.

If it is about the creation trio then Julian will go and look for it.

Before that, he has to prepare some equipment because he cannot ride his bike after a certain point in the mountain range, the roads are too rough and small and there will be a lot of wild pokemons around the area that can jump out and attack out of nowhere.

After getting the gears he looked at the mountain, even though he has not reached there yet, he could still see the mountain, the top of the mountain is covered by clouds and its peak cannot be seen.

Not many people have reached the top, many tired but failed, they said that they were trapped in an endless mage, and when they finally got lost and gave up, they found themselves back at the entrance of the maze.

Some claims to have reached the top but those are all just attention seekers.

Once a group of scientist decided to go through from the top using a helicopter but that group was never to be found again.

Nobody knows what happened to them, some say they are dead, some say they found something there and don't want to share it with the world due to their greediness.

Julian wants to see what really is on top of that mountain.

Legends say that the Sphere pillar can only be seen and be visited by those who have one of the orbs on their possession.

The orbs are the key to get to the top, and since the orbs are nowhere to be found people forgot about this legend.

Now people only try to do the maze for fun, some think they might get lucky while others just go there to have some fun time with their partners.

Julian finally reached the entrance of the mountain, from here on he has to ride slowly and after that when he reaches a checkpoint he has to walk.

Julian looks up the path and smiles, he hits the accelerator and drives up the road that goes round and round across the mountain until the maze entrance is near.

He was able to drive for a while but the road soon got very rocky and he had to get off his bike, he stored it away and looked down. The views from here are quite exceptional, he could see few cities from here, the house down on the ground are already barely visible and he has only reached a quarter way mark of this mountain.

He looks up and sees the mountain's peak but its not visible at all because it is over the clouds.

Julian "I can do nothing but walk I guess"

He said and started to walk through the rocky mountain path, he brought out Infernape to keep the atmosphere warm so that Crystal won't feel cold and there might also be some rock boulders that might block the way.

These boulder blocks are common in mountain paths, people who want to climb the mountain alone must have a strong pokemon to remove the boulder from their path, those who go in groups and don't have a strong pokemon hire guide that will certainly have a powerful pokemon with them.

Walking up the mountain is no difficult task for Julian but it takes a lot of time, he saw many trainers and tourist on the way, some of them coming down while others are walking up slowly.

After walked for a while he finally found a flat large surface to set up a camp because he knows he cannot climb up this mountain in one day, it's too damn big.

Julian let out his pokemon, all of them and let them do as they please unless they get far from him, luckily his older pokemon are more responsible and is taking care of his younger ones.

As nightfall they all went to sleep, Julian also got in his tent and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

While he is asleep, on the top of the mountain, few black men have gathered around the Sphere pillar with shiny yellow platinum-gold color crystal in their hands.

The one who is holding this crystal is the same old man that was seen inside the Giratina's ruin, they are the worshiper of Giratina, the remaining men who are his followers are on their knees chanting something.

"Oh great lord, hear our call, bless us with your might so that we can fulfill your wish"

The old man said while his men kept on chanting.

The Crystal in his hand released a dark, icy aura and toughed the Sphere pillar, suddenly the aura around the surroundings started to change and the air started to vibrate, the atmosphere grew cold and the wind's speed started to rise, the sphere pillar suddenly started to glow dark.

"Hahahahahaha, finally our Lord will come and destroy this foul world and create a new one where we will be the rulers, hahahaha"

The Old man laughed but suddenly the crystal in his hand suddenly cracked and shattered causing a huge explosion to accrue.

The dark energy that had accumulated around the sphere pillar suddenly burst out and a wave of energy went all over the area and disappeared, and the things went back to how they were.

The old man is on the ground immobilized, but he soon struggled and got up, he looked at his bloody hands.

"How? we tried to replicate the Griseous as it should have been, how did it fail again?"

He asked himself as his eyes displayed madness in them, his followers just looked at him.

"We cannot give up, the lord has to come and gift us his powers so we can fulfill his wish, we need the real orb, get to work, we need to find the real one and summon the lord"

He said and got back to his feet and walked away followed by his followers.
