Crystal's Plan

The battle was over and Julian's pokemon carried on their day peacefully in the forest, as the commotion calmed down they were able to move around the forest freely, the rumors about them being vicious also calmed as many pokemon witnessed them helping others.

The rumor died down but there were still some who feared them.

Infernape is having a very hard time around Lopunny, she seems to be following him everywhere he goes, due to his lack of experience he doesn't know what to do, so he just gives her the silent treatment.

Tyranitar found himself a nice cozy cave which he took over and enjoyed his time alone without worrying about anything for the first time.

Absol is able to increase his strength during his training session on the rocky hills.

While Gengar is counting his huge gains, tons of berries and elemental stones that he received from the pokemons of this forest is stored in his dimension, going through so many items cost him hours and hours.

Snorlax was still the same, eating and sleeping, nothing bothered him, his only goal is to eat and sleep.

____________________

While his older pokemons are spending their time all alone, Julian is following his new batch across the forest, the nine of them, Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, Cranidos, Victini, Togetic, Luxio, Riolu, and Gliscor.

These nine are actually working together very well collecting food in bulk, finding the perfect place for camping and sleeping for the night, Julian just stayed on the side and watched them do what they can.

Today is the second day and the nine have divided themselves into three groups, one group consist of Crystal, Manaphy and Togetic, they are in charge of finding food, the second group consist of Luxray, Riolu, and Gliscor, they are in charge of taking care of the camp, while the third group consist of Gible, Victini, and Cranidos, they are in charge of defense if a wild pokemons interfere and attack them.

Julian just sat on the side and watched his pokemon do what they can in the forest, they trained on their own, ate on their own and played with each other without relying on him.

Julian 'Looks like they can handle living in the forest without me, once they are strong enough I should let them walk around alone and survive in the forest, speaking of which what might the others be doing'

Julian thought, the most he was worried about is Gengar, he likes to pull off pranks which can sometimes cause big problems but he knows Gengar won't do anything wrong so he decided to wait till tomorrow and see what his older pokemons did.

Julian saw Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic leaving the campsite.

Julian 'They must be heading out in search for food, let's see what they bring back'

Julian thought as he saw them disappear into the forest.

The three soon started to find berries and anything that could be edible, the three work together in finding the perfect ones, Crystal was in charge of telling if a berry is poisonous or not, Crystal has already adapted several types and Poison is one of the earliest type Crystal had adapted to so its control over poison is very good.

Manaphy brings berries to Crystal and Crystal confirms if the berry is poisonous or not, as they do this they didn't realize that the number of berries that they collected grabbed the attention of some pokemons.

It is actually a heard of Taillows, these pokemons are aggressive, when they are in a group even powerful pokemons stay away from them because they keep attacking even after getting hit.

They get up and attack again, they are feisty and charge at even the scariest pokemon.

These heard of Taillows that consist of more than a hundred carefully looked at the huge pile of berries the three pokemon have collected.

These wild Taillows are wild and will try to snatch food from any pokemon they think they can handle, seeing that these three are just small and don't look so strong the heard of Taillow decided to snatch away their food.

Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic started to play around as they finished collecting all the berries, suddenly Crystal noticed something weird, it noticed that they were surrounded by a punch of pokemons, at first it thought that these pokemons just lived here but sensing the aura around the area Crystal knew that they are going to attack.

Crystal stopped and looked around and giggled, it then floated towards Manaphy and Togetic and called them closer to tell them something.

Crystal [Guys come here]

Crystal whispered and called Manaphy and Togetic towards it, Manaphy and Togetic looked at each other and headed towards Crystal to see why Crystal is speaking in such a low voice.

Manaphy and Togetic gave their ears to Crystal as it started to whisper into their ears about its plan, hearing what Crystal told them, both of them giggled and looked at each other.

They didn't try to look around so that the Taillows don't figure out, that they know about there presence.

They did as Crystal told them to do and pretended that they didn't know anything about it, they continued playing as they waited for the Taillows to make a move.
