Hiding In The Underworld

While Cynthia was wearing some spare clothes that were in the closet, Julian sat down in front of his laptop and searched for Galar, he has never heard about this region before and when Chloe said that pokemon grew huge in size surprised him.

After hitting the keywords on the keyboard he finally saw the main website displaying information about Galar, as he clicked the lick it took him to the main page which gave him the main information about Galar, after scrolling down a little, he saw a picture of a huge Pikachu and a group of people battling it, this Pikachu was engulfed in a purple light and there seem to be dark red clouds on top of the Pikachu's head and above this huge Pikachu was a storm spinning.

Julian "God, Chloe wasn't lying when she said, giant pokemons"

He said.

Cynthia "What are you looking at?"

Cynthia came from behind and asked, she put her arms around his neck and placed her chin on his shoulder looking at his laptop screen.

Cynthia "I have heard about this Galar region, pokemons become gigantic because of some mysterious energy, this mysterious energy is also the reason behind Galar being the only region which doesn't use electricity as their main power source"

She said.

Julian "Why do you think, this mysterious energy cause the pokemon to become gigantic?"

Cynthia "No idea, it's still a mystery, maybe it is related to their ancient history"

Julian "What about the League, do they know anything about it?"

Cynthia "Hehe, if the League knew I would also know about it but unfortunately they have no clue about it"

Julian "And here I thought the League knew everything"

Cynthia "Well, it's not their fault, Galar is not under the League's jurisdiction"

Julian "Hmm?"

Cynthia "Galar region is on another continent, the League have no power over them, they have their own system"

Julian "Oh"

He said and continued scrolling down, and saw a picture of a man who looks to be in his early or mid-twenties, he is wearing a black shirt and white pants, and a red cape filled with all kinds of sponsors on it.

Under the picture of this man is the title Champion, and his name Leon.

Cynthia "I have heard about this Leon, his record is even as impressive as yours, he has never been defeated, he became the champion of his region at the age of 14 and till now he has not lost even one battle"

She said.

Julian "Oh, I would love to have a battle with him"

He said.

Cynthia "Maybe you will, one day"

Julian "Hmm, Galar huh, there are still so many things to look around the world"

He said.

Cynthia "By the way, why are you looking into Galar?"

Julian "Chloe said Daisy will be going there with her team for some work"

Cynthia "I see"

Julian then closes his laptop and get's up and looks at Cynthia.

Julian "Let's go"

He said and grabbed her hand and walked out of the house.

Cynthia "Where are we going?"

She asked.

Julian "Someplace where we can spend our time alone, away from the public eye"

He said and took out his bike, after hopping on he rode off with Cynthia, the whole day he spent his time together with her, getting to know her even better, her likes and dislikes and everything that he needed to learn.

After their date ended which took a whole day, they came back to the penthouse and laid down on the bed.

Julian "Maybe now it's the time to talk about Cyrus"

He said.

Cynthia "Yes, I completely forgot about him"

She said.

Julian "Did your people find him?"

Cynthia "Yes, but currently we cannot get our hands on him, he fled to the underworld and the League cannot take any chances to confront the underworld, they are as huge as the League itself, they have branches all over different regions, a war with them would bring down the financial state of the region down"

She said.

Julain "What if the League asks them to hand over Cyrus, even they wouldn't want to a full-blown war, even they would suffer"

Cynthia "No, that isn't possible, Cyrus's project is protected by the underworld and his company even funds the underworld here in Sinnoh, Cyrus is a big shot in Sinnoh, his cooperation holds 30% shares of every market in Sinnoh and his fund to the Underworld is also huge, the Underworld is like a safe house to him, no one can touch him"

Julian "Yes, this is definitely troubling, if we cannot touch him, we will just have to wait for him to surface again but I cannot just sit idle, he has Uxie, it may die if it doesn't get back to its home, Lake Acuity"

Cynthia "I understand, some of the League spies will try to get into the underworld and find the exact location of Cyrus and if they find him they will assassinate him"

Julian "This plan might fail"

He said in a concerned voice.

Cynthia "I know, but we don't have any other options"

Julian "How many members are planning to infiltrate?"

Cynthia "Six"

Julian "Make it seven"

Cynthia "Wait? You can't what if something happens to you, what will I answer to Chloe and Daisy, what will I do?"

Julian "Don't worry, nothing can happen to me, I have Gengar with me, he will always be my second pair of eyes and ears, with him around nothing can happen"

He said.

Cynthia thought about it and stayed silent for a few seconds before nodding her head.

Julian "Thankyou"

Cynthia "No, thank you for putting so much effort in saving my region"

He just smiled and didn't say anything.
