Chapter 607 - Zekrom

Julian walked into Professor Juniper's lab and took a seat outside the checkup room, he saw Professor Juniper doing something in front of her computer while Ash and others were around Pikachu who is currently contained inside a container.

Just as Julian expected, Pikachu seems to be suffering from some kind of electric overload which made him unable to use any electric type moves, being an electric type pokemon, Pikachu relied on it as energy to maintain a healthy body so not able to use it means he was growing weaker.

If he is unable to tap into his electric source it might be fatal as it is the most essential thing for a pokemon to stay alive.

Once its energy completely disappears it might die, Julian is a little worried about Pikachu but he still has sometime before things get out of control.

If Pikachu's health continues to get worse, Julian will have to call Electivire and charge Pikachu up and get him back to normal but Julian didn't jump in.

The people inside the room are Professors who are very knowledgeable in the field of pokemon, they can surely come up with something, it doesn't always have to be Julian to comes to the rescue of others.

As Julian was thinking about it, he felt the surrounding change as the temperature dropped at an extreme rate, he could hear the winds outside the lab going wild.

It was as if a storm has arrived, Julian rushed outside as he felt mysterious energy around the area, it was very destructive and bold, he could feel it.

He looked up at the sky and noticed a black could, it was the same black cloud he had seen in the TV, now that he looked at it, he realized how big this thing really is, on the TV it looked very small but in reality, it covered the whole sky.

Julian couldn't see the end of this storm cloud at all, he also noticed the massive hole in the middle of the cloud, it was spinning really fast as lightning crackled inside it as it rumbled and shook the ground, while the middle of the cloud was spinning at extreme speed, its outer part was relatively slow.

Julian got excited as he could feel the power coming from this thunder cloud, Julian could tell that this is the job of the legendary pokemon Zekrom.

Soon the center of the cloud stopped right over Professor Juniper's lab as the energy around it started to build up.

This was a very different energy, it was not as strong as the one he sensed from the creation trio but it was definitely stronger than the weather trio from Hoenn.

This Zekrom is a monster but Julian didn't understand what it is doing here, but his question was answered when the built-up energy suddenly got released in the form of a massive lightning bolt.

Before he could even react the lightning bolt struct the antenna fixed on top of the lab and then something happened.

Julian heard Pikachu's scream from inside as he saw bolts of lightning rip through the walls and windows of the lab, this lightning bolt is being released by Pikachu.

Julian put up a shield in front of him as he saw one of the lightning bolt coming towards him.

The barrier he created stopped the bolt of lightning successfully.

Julian looked up at the cloud once again and he finally saw what he wanted to see, the Silhouette of Zekrom, it was a big black shadow figure in the middle of the cloud with glowing red eyes and lightning surrounding it, it was just like how Ash described it to be.

Soon the massive bolt of lightning that hit Professor Juniper's lab disappeared along with the storm cloud, Julian looked around the sky but he could find no trace of Zekrom what so ever.

It was as if it wasn't present at all, this excited Julian, this Zekrom was clearly the strongest legendary pokemon he came across, except the creation trio, they are gods, it not fair to compare them with legendaries at all.

They are in their own league.

Julian wanted to know more about this dragon and its origin, as he was in his thought process he heard a Thunderbolt being released inside Professor Juniper's lab, he quickly rushed inside and saw Ash covered with electricity, it seems he got hit by lightning but he wasn't affected at all.

Ash "Ok, Pikachu, use Volt Tackle"

Pikachu suddenly rushed towards Ash and crashed into him with a Volt Tackle, seeing this Julian was surprised, it looks like Pikachu is back to normal and Ash is as careless as usual, taking a Volt Tackle like that was not something anyone would want to.

Julian "Looks like Pikachu recovered"

Julian said and entered, seeing Julian Ash got excited and rushed towards him, Ash finally took a good look at the Darumaka in Julian's hand.

Ash "What pokemon is this?"

He asked curiously.

Julian put Darumaka down so he could interact with Pikachu and the Oshawott that is in the room.

Julian "A Darumaka which I just caught recently"

He answered as he watched his Darumaka getting familiar with Ash's Pikachu, he looked at Oshawott beside Pikachu and did think anything, he could tell that this one is below average, not a pokemon Julian would want to train but it is still cute.

Oak "Oh, look at this little one, he seems very feisty"

Professor Oak said as he saw Darumaka who is trying to pull Pikachu's ear but his hands are too short to get a hold of them.

Julian picked him up again, he realized that he has another trouble maker in the group and sighed.

Julian "I just came to say that I am leaving"

Julian said.

Oak "What did you think about that storm cloud?'

Professor Oak asked.

Julian "The possibility of it being caused by Zekrom is very high, the energy behind that lightning bolt was very high, it was definitely not normal"

Juniper "As expected, it really might be Zekrom the legendary pokemon"

She also had the same theory, she spent her whole life in Unova so she knows about the myths and legends of the region.

This is not the first time a storm cloud like this has been seen, in the past, it has appeared several times but there is no evidence that connects it to Zekrom, some people think it's just a normal storm while others believe that it really is Zekrom.

But it really didn't matter.

Julian "I will be going then"

Saying so Julian left, his work here is done and he has rested enough, now its time for him to look around Unova and see what it has in store for him.

Bidding his farewell he disappeared into the horizon as Julian started his Unova journey.
