Journey Towards Greatness - Chapter 1367: Dimension

Julian finally exited the port city of Gateon.

The roads outside the city were much rougher compared to the ones in the city. It showed the underdevelopment of the Orre region.

He is not even five minutes away from the city and the roads are already rough, but Julian has experience driving on rough roads, so he continues onward.

Julian ‘My next stop should be Agate Town’

He thought as he started seeing mountain reigns on the horizon. The mountain should be Mt. Battle and Agate Town is near to the mountain.

After riding for hours, Julian entered a forest.

Life in the forest is very lively, but Julian isn’t interested in catching any pokemons that can be found here. He has seen them and even trained some of them.

His sole purpose of visiting Orre is to deal with Cipher and nothing else.

The sky was getting darker so Julian set up a camp like the old days and let his pokemons run wild and mess around a bit as he watched them with a content smile.

This has always been what he wanted. To travel and experience the world, but sometimes he would need to step up and handle things by himself because if he doesn’t, the world will become a shitty place.

At dawn’s break, Julian continued his journey towards Mt. Battle.

After a day of riding, he saw a mountain range getting close. And before him stood a big hilly terrain.

Julian “This must be Agate Village,”

He says looking at the hilly terrain.

Twisting the accelerator on his bike, he drives towards the village.

Julian stops at the village’s gate. The gate is unique as it isn’t made of bricks or concrete. It’s just two pillars made of small rocks balancing on top of each other without any glue or support to hold them in place.

It looked like it would fall if someone placed their hands on the pillars, but that is not the case. Julian can tell that these pillars are as sturdy as they can be.

He could also sense a type of energy holding the rocks together.

Julian “This village is special,”

He said and got off his bike. The roads of this village are not suitable for driving his bike on. He will need to walk.

Agate village is situated on a mountain range which might make it difficult to live in for some people.

But to Julian’s surprise, the majority of this village’s population are old people… Very fit old people.

He saw these old people walk up steep mountain roads without breaking a sweat.

Every time they saw Julian walk past them, they smiled at him and welcomed him to their humble village.

Some of them even stopped him and started praising him for being very handsome and wanting to introduce their granddaughters to him.

Julian just smiled, listened to them, and continued walking up the route.

Suddenly, the little gremlin in Julian’s pocket popped its head out and started staring in a certain direction.

Julian “What’s going on, you little gremlin?”

Julian questions as looks down at Crystal. He knows the little gremlin won’t just pop its head out for nothing. It must have sensed something to wake it up from its sleep.

Crystal suddenly flies out of his pocket and rushes up the path. Julian quickens his steps and follows Crystal.

After following Crystal for a few minutes, Julian finds himself in front of a waterfall.

Crystal stopped right in front of it and started staring intensely at the waterfall.

Crystal “gggeeeeeee”

Crystal narrowed its eyes for a few seconds, and then suddenly shot into the waterfall.

Julian realizes that there is a cave behind the waterfall so he follows Crystal and walks into the waterfall while protecting himself from the water using Omniforce.

Once behind the waterfall, Julian is greeted by a glowing cave.

Blue crystals are all over the walls of the cave, illuminating the cave in the process.

Julian walks up to one of the crystals and feels energy radiating from these crystals.

Julian “From the looks of it, people have not discovered this cave.”

Julian says. If people had found this cave, they would have already started mining it, especially in a region controlled by Cipher.

He then moved deeper inside the cave following Crystal’s trail.

The cave was smaller than he expected. It only took him a few minutes to reach the other end of the cave.

He walks up to the exit that is shining brightly from the light entering the cave. As soon as he takes in the scenery after exiting the cave, he is flabbergasted.

He physically felt his body passing through a thin veil and entering another dimension.

There is greenery everywhere. Plant life that he has never seen before.

Julian looks up to see an endless sky. He can feel the overwhelming amount of Omniforce present in his surroundings.

This feels the same as when he entered that Mew lair in the past.

He sees Crystal hovering around the platform, looking curiously at it. Julian also gets curious and walks up to the platform to examine it when he suddenly feels someone else enter the dimension.

“Who are you?”

A rough old voice calls out Julian.
