Chapter 496 - Spear Key (1/2)

Julian and Cynthia rested in the village for a while and let their Garchomps to recharge, they flew for a very long time and especially Julian's Garchomp, he has been flying over a day over Sinnoh and Julian on his back.

Both Julian and Cynthia talked about their strategy on how to tackle the current situation, both of them are strong enough to take on the whole Elite guards but they felt something was strange, why are the elite guards so focused on trying to snatch the members of the team galactic captured by the league's elites and they are continued to pressure them, this didn't feel right.

Julian ”Something is definitely not normal, the Elite guards are acting weird, why are they so focused on normal team galactic members when they can go after the others, there are tons of them around Sinnoh or hiding in the vicinity of Mt. Coronet”

He said and looked at Cynthia wondering if she had any answers.

Cynthia ”I have no idea, if they are doing this it might be because they want to help Cyrus but why would they do that, Cyrus killed their leader and are in their wanted list”

She said causing more confusion between them.

Julian ”Hmm, there is something else here and we can only figure it out when we go there but that might be their plan from the beginning”

He said.

Cynthia ”Yes, they might want us to focus on the current hostage situation and this will definitely help Cyrus a lot, with no strong member looking out there for Cyrus it is impossible to catch him”

She said.

Julian ”How strong is Cyrus, by the way?”

He asked.

Julian knew Cyrus had a huge amount of fortune and power over Sinnoh but he had no idea about Cyrus's personal power, what pokemons were in his control and how strong they are, if his pokemons are stronger than that of the elite four it will be very hard to capture him if Julian is not involved.

Cynthia ”He is pretty strong, stronger than the elite four and with the money he has he can easily groom pokemons powerful enough to battle me”

She said.

Julian ”That is troublesome, what are the Elite Four up to?”

He asked.

The elite four of this region are strong but not on the same level as the once Julian has encountered before, trainers like Agatha and Drake are already Champion level trainers and because of their age they had to leave the Champion's position while the elite four of the Sinnoh are all young except Bertha but her powers are not as high as her elder sister's one of the Elite four of Kanto.

Drake, on the other hand, could easily put on a grand battle against anyone of the Elite Four of the Sinnoh region and win over them, he can even give Cynthia a run for her money.

Julian 'If what Cynthia's saying is true it will be a lot harder to pin Cyrus unless I or Cynthia herself try to catch him'

He thought and looked at her.

Julian ”Let's split up then”

He said.

Hearing this Cynthia is surprised but she decided to listen first.

Julian ”If Cyrus is really as strong as you describe him to be then it would be foolish to just let the Elite Four handle this, I will take care of the hostage situation and get rid of the Elite Guards of the underworld while you track down Cyrus and try to capture him, once I am done with the Guards, I will join you”

He said and explained the process to Cynthia.

She listened carefully and decided to go with Julian's plan, with Julian taking care of the hostage situation it won't last long so he can easily get back on track and during that time Cynthia might be able to catch up to Cyrus and find what he is up to.

As they were about to leave Julian suddenly realized something, he forgot to mention the missing key to Cynthia.

Julian ”Wait I need to ask you about something”
