Julian found himself in the forest, these mountains were filled with trees and grass, it would look like a forest or a jungle if it didn't have a steep slope, the higher Julian got the greater the gravity became higher.

Julian 'If this goes on, I will have to stay in this mountain for days, need to find the cult' ​​

He thought and increased his pace, he wanted to hunt down the leader as fast as possible, every minute he leaves that man live, the more danger he puts his world in.

The threat of someone holding such power that can destroy the world is a big no-no for him, he can't risk it at all.

After walking around the forest he found some things that let him track down some people who have been here recently, he followed the tracks and he soon found some result to his search, a group of people wearing black long robes, they were sitting in a group around a tree talking and laughing.

Julian 'What are these idiots doing?'

He thought.

He climbed up a tree and slowly approached them, once he was right above them he carefully listened to them.

"What do you think the high priest wants with this cave?"

One of them asked.

"Who knows, we can only do what he says or he will just sacrifice up in the name of our Lord, even though we worship the lord I don't want to die so early"

Another said.

"Indeed, some times the high priest scares me, I just hope we don't get in his sight or we may die"

Another said.

The remaining ones also agreed with these people, they all seemed to be very scared of their leader.

Julian 'These men are scared of this so-called high priest, he rules over them with fear and looks like it works pretty well'

He thought and decided to confront them, he jumped down the tree and brought down two of them after slamming their head on the ground, the other's got startled but once they saw Julian they decided to attack by bringing out their Pokeball but before they could, they got punched on their faces, chopped down on their shoulders and neck, knocking all of them unconscious except one.

The man tried to back off but Julian grabbed him by his robe and pinned him against the tree.

Julian "Where is your high priest?"

"He is at top of this mountain"

The man said.

He knew he has nowhere to hide and his body is not strong enough to take punches, he decided to go with Julian

Julian "What is he planning to do in the cave?"

He asked.

"I don't know, the high priest never tells us about anything, the only thing I know is that the high priest is obsessed with this cave"

Julian "So did he find it?"

"No, not yet"

Julian "Good"

Julian said and knocked the man out.

Now that he knows where the man he is looking for is, he decided to go to the place where the man is currently staying, on his way he was confronted by some very powerful pokemons, they didn't back out with Gengar's pressure alone, so he had to come to the surface and deal with them.

Some of these pokemons were even stronger than the pokemons trained by the elite four, nearing Cynthia's Garchomp in powers and he is not even at the top of this mountain.

Julian 'No wonder Fredric was able to rise such a powerful pokemon, battling with these monsters would make any pokemons strong.

As higher he climbed the stronger the pokemons got, most of them were already at champion level, but higher he continued the stronger they got, they crossed over champion level, any one of these pokemons to easily bring down Cynthia's Garchomp if they know how to battle with strategies.

Gengar also started to get excited as the power of the pokemons he encountered got stronger, too bad none of them were still a match to him.

Some were able to battle for a minute with him but he was just fooling around, trying to see what the other party in front of him can do.

Julian 'If this goes on, it will take hours before I reach the top, and with all this battling the sound of it might alert those people'

He thought.

But he has to continue doing this, he cannot make a grand entrance. If these people are able to reach the top of this mountain that means some of these people have pokemons that are stronger than the ones living here in this mountain.

This could be a problem if these cult members have more than one of these powerful pokemons, to not cause more distraction Julian asked Gengar to make it silent.

Gengar then used the shadows and took down the pokemon around the area and put them to sleep before they come looking for Julian to cause trouble.

While Gengar took care of all the pokemons and put them to sleep, Julian fanned out the mountain and soon found what he was looking for, a large number of people in long black robes covering their heads, the members of the cult and they are in hundreds.

Julian 'There are more here than I thought they would be'

He thought.
