Julian "Mt. Stark huh? Good, you are lucky, you only got to the second phase, as for your high priest, he will go to the third phase as well"

Julian said and got up after putting his tools away, he looked at the Admin with cold and emotionless eyes and delivered the final blow, his crushed the Admin's knee with his kick completely shattering it. ​​

Julian "Don't worry you won't die, you will be a cripple forever, think of this as a punishment"

Julian said and walked away as he heard the admin scream in pain, he did leave some berries behind but that would be of no help, it would stop the pain and stop the internal bleeding but the Admin will be cripple for the rest of his life.

Well, it will be up to him if he wants to continue living or commit suicide.

After walking out of the cave Julian sighed and took out his bike and rode off.

Mt Clark is on a completely different island so he has to take a ferry or a boat from Veilstone city to reach there.

After riding for a few hours he arrived at Veilstone City, he wanted to take some rest after today's incident, he rented a room in a hotel and slept for the day.

Next day he woke up pretty early around 6 AM and stretched his body, after taking a bath he made himself some coffee and looked outside the window, he still remembered what he did yesterday, he didn't kill that man but he did leave him in an even worse condition, he started to wonder if he was going back to how he was before.

He promised himself he won't kill anyone ever again but what he did yesterday was worse than killing someone, he left that man crippled and with a choice, live his life by struggling or kill himself to release him from his pain.

He didn't know what would have happened if the Admin had not submitted to Julian in the second phase.

Julian 'I should find something to get my head out of this'

He thought and sat down on his bed and closed his eyes to meditate, he has not meditated for many months now, he didn't have the time at all.

He soon zoned off into a calm state of mind, after hours of meditation he finally opened his eyes, he didn't get answers to his questions but it did calm him down.

Julian 'Ah, I forgot something, Cynthia said that she was going to do a surgical strike on Cyrus, what happened, she didn't answer at all'

He thought and took out his phone and called Cynthia but he wasn't able to reach her at all, her phone seemed to have been switched off.

Julian 'Did something happen?'

He thought and decided to ask the League because they would know about these kinds of stuff. If something happens to Cynthia they would be the first ones to find out.

He directly made a call to the League, the phone rang on the other side and someone picked up.

"Hello? Who is this?"

It was the Chief.

Julian "Chief, it's me, Julian"

Julian said.

Chief "Ah, Mr. Julian, what is the reason for your call?"

The Chief asked.

Julian "Did something happen to Cynthia?"

He asked directly, he didn't want to beat around the bushes.

Chief "Ah...Mr. Julian, how did you find out about this?"

The Chief hesitated as he spoke

Julian "So something really did happen huh?"

Julian said and frowned.

Chief "Yes, our Champion is badly injured and bedridden"

The Chief said and sighed.

Julian "Tell me what happened"

Julian said as he gripped his phone tightly.

Chief "Champion Cynthia found out that Cyrus was planning something that would cause disaster to Sinnoh, she also found out that he was importing illegal parts from foreign countries that are no under the League jurisdiction, since it's a capital crime Champion Cynthia decided to go and capture him with a team of elite members, but when they reached to the hideout where Cyrus was staying it self-destructed all of our elites died, the Champion's Garchomp protected her or she would have died as well"

The Chief explained and sighed.

Julian got furious, he didn't know why but he was furious, he wanted to go and beat down Cyrus for what he did to Cynthia.

Julian "Wait a minute, how many people knew about this mission?"

Julian asked.

Chief "Only a few core members of the league and I know what you are thinking, there is a mole in the League and that person informed Cyrus, we are currently trying to find the person responsible for this"

The Chief said.

Julian "Good, also triple the security around Cynthia, if they tried to kill her they will try again, a trainer of Cynthia's level is a danger to them"

Chief "I understand Mr. Julian, don't worry we are on edge, no one is allowed to meet Cynthia except me, even the doctors are not allowed to visit her without me by their side"

The Chief reassured, he knew how important Cynthia is, he cannot let such an important person of their region die.

Even if the League is the one controlling the region the people listen to the Champion, they are the face of the League, a champion's death can be a catastrophe.

Julian "Where is Cynthia right now?"

Chief "We are at Sunnyshore city at the city hospital"

Julian "Ok, I will be there in an hour"

Julian said.

Chief "Mr. Julian, may I ask something?"

Julian "What is it?"

Chief "What is your relationship with our Champion"

Hearing the question Julian froze, for some reason he had no answer, he just ended the call without answering the question.
