Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 282 - Spending The Day In The Maze



He said as he got out of the tent and looked up, just like him Infernape and Crystal also woke up and looked at the top.

Julian \'I felt Omniforce going wild just a second ago\'

He thought and looked at Infernape and Crystal.

Julian \'And it looks like I was not the only one who felt it, I have to get up there and see what really is there\'

He went back to sleep, decided to get up there tomorrow because climbing the mountain at night is stupid.

Next day Julian is on the head out again, the thing is it\'s about to snow heavily around here but and he needs to find and cave or shelter soon.

The snow got heavy by time passed but Julian soon found the entrance of the maze which is a cave, as he entered the cave he saw few men and women have set up some camps here.

He didn\'t give any attention to them as they are just avoiding the snowstorm outside, he soon continues his path deeper into the cave, just like him, few people are also going deeper into the cave to try out the maze for themselves.

Since it has already been proven that after getting lost and tired the travelers found themselves in front of the exit no matter what.

This was very strange at first but with passing time people have come to except it and regards it as one of the mysterious miracles in Sinnoh and Mt. Coronet.

He noticed people around him, some in a group and some single, as he got deeper into the cave he finally came across the start of the maze.

The start point actually has three entrance and each of theses entrance has a crystal-shaped carved on top of it, these crystal-shaped carvings are the same one Julian saw in the ruins present in Celestic town, the three orbs that hold the will of the creation trio.

Julian found it weird for these crystal carvings to be on top of these entrances, from what he knows there is only one sphere pillar, so why does it need three entrances and why does each of them have a different carving on them.

He wondered and randomly chose the middle path and walked in, just like any other cave it is dark and cold, Julian asked Gengar to map the cave and come back to him.

Gengar blended into the dark shadows of the cave and went away, Julian maintained his pace and he soon found himself in trouble, he saw many ways but he couldn\'t decide which one to take.

He stood there and took a look at all of them, just like him there are few people with him who also choose the middle path, just like him, they are also stuck here and can\'t decide which path to take.

Julian just waits for them to decide and chose their path, he sees all of them enter one after the other in a different path, what he noticed more was that no one took the same path after a person just entered it.

It was really weird, from what he knows a person will choose a path that is already chosen before to be more secure but right here they all chose a different path.

But there is one path the wasn\'t chosen by anybody.

When Julian looked at this path he also felt like not going in, he felt weird, why did he feel this way.

Suddenly he noticed Gengar came back and shook his head as he found nothing.

Julian frowned and looked at the path that wasn\'t taken by anyone.

Julian "Did you go in there?"

He asked as he pointed at that path.

Gengar looked at the path and got confused and scratched his head, he also felt like not going in there, it felt nothing interesting will happen if he goes in.

Gengar shook his head saying that he didn\'t go in.

Julian \'Now this is interesting, I have been here for five minutes and I saw people entering one path at a time but no this one, even Gengar didn\'t go in even after I told him to check all the path\'

He thought and walked towards the path, the closer he walked towards the path the more he felt uninterested in it

Seeing that he is somehow getting effected by this he enforced his mind and help Gengar to free themselves from this weird sensation.

The feeling that was just looming over them disappeared, Julian smiled and walked into the path, as he did he felt it, Omniforce all over the cave, it was not concentrated but it is there, Julian could feel it, it somehow seemed diluted.

He walked forward as Gengar kept an eye, Julian also called out Infernape as he might be of help as well.

Just like they said, it was a long and excruciating maze and Julian had to go over and over the same path many times to reach a dead-end 80% of the time, but he didn\'t give up, he knew that it is already night and his pokemon need their food and rest.

And so he has to set up a camp inside this maze itself, he warned his pokemon not to wander off.

Spending time inside a cold dark cave which is also a huge maze might be scary but when all the scary things are actually your own pokemons, then its nothing to be a concern about.

Julian constantly kept track of time and after sending a day inside this cave-like maze he finally was able to see the light at the other end, he is not sure if he has come to the starting point or the end.

He did leave marking on his way but he didn\'t do it when he entered the cave so he has no idea.

He walked forward and soon comes of the cave and covers his eyes as the warm sunlight hits his face, being in a dark place for a whole day is really troublesome.

Once his eyes got used to the bright sunlight he looked forward and sighed, it was not the entrance from where he walked into the maze but the exit.

He took his time and looked at what is in front of him.
