Chapter 1239: Visiting Kukui
Samson "You seem to be in a hurry to talk"
Samson said as he saw Julian waiting right outside his office, once they got in and sat down Samson got very curious as to why Julian is here.
Julian "Actually I visited one of the trial grounds today, the Verdant Cavern".
Samson "Oh, what happened?" UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
Julian "As specified in your files, I did meet the totem Gumshoos there but there was something off about it".
Samson "What was it?"
He asked.
Julian "You specified that even though Gumshoos is very territorial, it is not very aggressive but the pokemon I met today was the complete opposite, as soon as I entered the area it resides, it attacked it.
It tried to kill me from the get-go".
Julian said.
Samson frowned hearing this, this is very rare as most totem pokemons might be territorial and will attack trespassers but they don't try to kill, especially humans, pokemons are smart and totem pokemons are even smarter, they know that killing a human would only lead to more trouble for them so they try their best to avoid killing one.
If what Julian said is true, then other trainers who want to visit the trail grounds might be at risk.
At the end of the day, it's just speculation that Cipher was involved, there are infinite possibilities that something else could be involved in Gumshoos behavior.
Samson was also pondering about it when he thought of something.
Samson "Wait, there is something, the whole forest around Verdant cavern is fitted with wildlife motion capture cameras, maybe you can find something in them".
Samson said.
Hearing this Julian was relieved, if he could find something related to Cipher in these cameras, it could be an easy fix for Julian as he will just need to hunt them down and take them out but if Cipher is not related to this incident, he knows that an ordinary trainer's life might be at risk.
So he hopes it's Cipher and not an unknown factor.
He talked with Samson for a few more minutes before deciding to leave the old man to himself, even though the school is over, Samson still has a lot of work to do.
Julian doesn't plan to visit the forest again right now, he plans to visit Kukui and talk with him a little, though Principal Samson is a lead researcher when it comes to pokemon variants and totem pokemons, he doesn't know everything.
Now that Julian has learned that Z-moves and the secret to totem pokemons are one and the same and he wanted to know a little more about Z-moves and the most qualified person on this island is none other than his friend Kukui.
He already knows where Kukui lives so he won't get lost looking for Kukui, Kukui lives right next to the beach so it won't be hard to find his house.
When Julian got close to the beach, it only took him a few minutes to find Kukui's house, the house is decent in size and is made of wood but it looks very good.
Julian approached Kukui's house and noticed a little pokemon running around and playing in the sand, Julian looked at this puppy like pokemon and couldn't help but smile.
It's a Rockruff. The little pokemon was playing around when it suddenly lifted its head up and looked at Julian who just arrived, the little puppy rushed towards Julian with its tongue out and started to run around Julian and smell his legs.
