Journey Towards Greatness

Chapter 1289: Ambush

It\'s late in the morning and Julian woke up after a very long rest with all that smashing he did last night.

He saw Jenny sleeping naked right beside him and he expects her to be sleeping here for a few more hours because she can get up and get back to work.

He gets off the bed and picks up the console he picked up from the cipher members he trashed to get an update on the other cipher members that just entered Melemele island.

As he turned on the console, a message was waiting for him. The message is from the leader of Cipher who entered Melemele island.

Julian smiles seeing this. He then sent a message back to the sender with the location of the place he wants them to be at when he gets there.

He sees that the message has been read, so he puts away the console and gets ready. He looks at Jenny and sees that she is still very deep asleep.

Not deciding to bother her, he leaves his hotel room and heads to the location he set his trap.

Julian on Charizard\'s back sores through the Melemele sky and heads deep into the dense forest that covers most of Melemele island.

The location where Julian sends those troublemakers is just a very open and empty field right in the middle of the dense forest where no one will disturb Julian as he deals with these cipher troublemakers.

Though Julian is making his way toward the location where he set his ambush at, he is always on the lookout for a hidden Totem den.

Totem pokemons are very rare, but most of the islands have not been discovered either. Julian got lucky and found Totem Butterfree, so the chances of him finding other pokemon are very high as well.

Julian arrives at the ambush spot and he realizes that he has arrived a little early, but it doesn\'t bother him. He sends Charizard back to his pokemon and gets on top of a tree and begins his wait.

His wait didn\'t last long, only an hour, and Julian has played the waiting game for much longer.

He sees the leader, followed by the other 19 Cipher members. Today, all these people will disappear from the face of this planet as well.

"Boss, this is the location, but there is nothing around here"

One of the grunts spoke while checking a console similar to the one Julian has. The boss frowns and looks around, but even he can\'t find anything around but an empty grass field.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

The boss asks.

"I am sure, boss. These coordinates are exactly pointing to where we are standing"

The grunt speaks.

"Did they give us the wrong coordinates?"

The boss asks.

"Wait for a second, boss. I will confirm"

The grunt speaks and starts fiddling with the console in his hand.

On a tall branch of the tree right next to where the Cipher members are standing, Julian receives a message on the console.

He reads the message, and it\'s from the guys down below. They are checking if the coordinates he sent them are accurate or not. Julian decides to reply them back. He smiles and starts typing.

Julian [The location is accurate]

Julian replies.

[Where? We can\'t see the base.]

The grunt replies back.

Julian [You are in the right location. I can see you.]

Julian replies.

[Once again, where? There is nothing around us except trees and plain grass land]

The grunt replies.

Julian [I am right there. Look under your feet.]

Julian replies

The grunt gets confused and looks down, but doesn\'t see anything.

"What\'s wrong? What is taking you so long?"

The boss asks.

"Boss, they are telling us, we are on the right spot. He is also telling us to look down"

The grunt says.

"Look down? What\'s beneath us?"

The boss looks down and so does everyone else along with him and they all finally see it.

They see two crimson eyes in their shadows, staring right into their souls.

"SHIT, IT\'S A TRAP, RUN"

The boss yells and tries to run, but black tentacles shoot out of the shadow and latch onto his ankles. The same thing happens to others as well. Some of them tumble and fall face first on the ground and break their noses while some of them twist their arms by landing sideways.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? IT\'S DRAGGING ME INTO THE GROUND"

The boss shouts in dread as he feels the shadow tentacle tighten its grip around his ankle and pull him to the ground.

He is not the only one who is shouting hysterically as the other 19 grunts are also losing their mind. Imagine a dark tentacle suddenly coming out of the ground and snatching you into the ground. Anyone would be terrified.

"We should have never come here, I want to go homeeee"

One grunt started to cry.

"Mommy, where are you? I don\'t want to work with these people anymore. I should have listened to you, mommy please save meeeeeee"

All these grunts started to sob and call for their loved ones as they felt their life coming to an end.
