Leader "Sir Julian, welcome, thank you for coming to help us"
He said and saluted Julian.
Julian felt awkward as he saw the agent saluting him, he remembered his time in his past life when he was an army general, he also had the impulse to salute back but he stopped himself.
Julian "No problem, what is the current situation?"
He asked.
Leader "Things are fine now. we will be able to hold on for two days but our food supplies are already diminishing fast, our pokemons are hungry and to fight they need a lot to eat"
He said and sighed.
They were in a very bad position, anyone who tried to help them was attacked or chased away before they could even reach here that is why these men asked for a strong trainer to help them.
Julian nodded.
Julian "Ok, it's about to be nightfall, let's rest for the day and tomorrow I will take care of those idiots"
He said and asked the leader to guide him towards an empty tent.

Outside the camp, few elite guards of the Underworld gathered around to discuss something.
"Who was that just entered their camp?"
Their captain asked.
"We don't know captain, but this person had a Garchomp"
A guard said.
Captain "A Garchomp? Was it the Champion?"
He asked worriedly.
"No the person sitting on top of it was a man and the Garchomp was a black in color, it cannot be the Champion"
The guard said.
Captain "I see but we cannot let this pass, we are asked to drag this for as long as possible, if we do this we can gain our freedom from the Underworld, with Cyrus's help we can become the citizens of Sinnoh, we cannot miss this chance"

He said.
"We understand captain, what should we do?"
The guard asked.
Captain "Rest for now and feed your pokemons, let them worry all night as they anticipate our attack, we will attack tomorrow again, they will not be able to hold on for much longer"
He said.
"But what about that person who just entered their camp?"
The guard asked as he is still cautious about the current situation, they all wanted freedom from the underworld, the underworld was ok to live in but the people living there were oppressed, every male had to join the guards and every woman had to get into a business to maintain a steady cash flow for the underworld to operate.
Once the men have finished their service and retired from the guard it was all over, they have lost the most precious time of their life to the Underworld protecting them with no reason, these men wanted out from it and take their family with them, it was the only option.
Cyrus promised them that he can give freedom to them, even though Cyrus cannot be trusted, they had to risk it, it was their only hope from escaping that hell.
Everything was the same there, one has to wake up, get to work, come back home, eat and sleep, there was no form of entertainment at all, there was no higher education system present there.
It was worth the risk, that is what is going on inside their mind, Cyrus asked them to drag this even so he can make a run for his life and they will be able to achieve freedom.
Julian, of course, has no idea of this but he was right about this event, these guards were not working for the Underworld but for their own benefit.

The sun started to set and the sky turned orange, the guards kept on pressuring the agents for a while before finally stopping their fire, it was dark and dangerous to cause so much commotion.
Nighttime is when the true monsters of the forest come out, the real terror of the forest, the pokemons that habitat these lands, the pokemons of the night are strong and ruthless, they will attack anything that gets in their sight unless they are not confident in their victory.
Julian's camp is safe from the attacks by these pokemons because Gengar is in charge of the security, with his aura no pokemon will ever try to get near the camp, the Elite guards of the underworld will have some problem but they are better equipped to handle them so they don't have to worry about it as well.
All of them have to preserve their energy for the next day as things might get dangerous.
Inside his tent Julian closes his eyes and meditate, it has been months since he calmed his thoughts and let go of the world around him, he was too focused on the things that are happening in Sinnoh.
His thoughts were in Chaos so he decided to shut himself down and just meditate, his body started to channel Omniforce from the surrounding and hungrily started to feed on it, his body has already reached a level where pokemon attacks won't do a thing to him, he can take a direct hit from a nuclear weapon and come out without a scratch, even though his strength is limited he liked it that way, he didn't have to worry about continuously being under the pressure of keeping his specialty a secret, he always kept in mind that he was special, he cannot just go around and tell everyone he is indestructible.
The world is a terrible place, humans fear something that can suppress them, humans fear absolute power, they will rebel and turn on someone who has absolute power, so he cannot allow others to think that he is special in any way.
Yes, he has powerful pokemons but there is still an idea that he can be killed, he can be handled, he can be defeated through numbers and this kept his life at ease.
If people knew he is unkillable they will start to fear him and his powers and Julian doesn't want that, that is why he always let his pokemons do everything and not lift a finger against his opponents.
And if somehow someone found out about him he will just wipe out their memories with the help of Gengar.
