The girl comes to an abrupt stop seeing Julian and looks at him suspiciously.
"Who are you? Are you the one responsible for all this chaos?" the girl shouts at him in her high-pitched pitch annoying voice.
Julian "I guess. Who are you?"
Julian asks. Even though he suspects this girl to be some higher-up in Cipher looking at the uniform she is wearing, it is better to be more informed.
"How dare you trespass into our Cipher base? I am going to make you regret ever stepping foot inside this lab," she yells and sends out her Mismagius to teach Julian this so-called lesson.
Julian studies the girl in front of him and realizes that she should be about the same age as him physically, but her behavior is that of a spoilt child.
But the pokemons she is using would easily make her a top contender amongst the elite fours of any region. A near champion-level Pokemon.
Julian "Are you in charge here?"
Julian asks noticing her strength. She is the strongest Pokemon trainer he has come across in this region till now.
"Of course, I am in charge. I am Lovrina, an admin of Cipher. You should surrender to me right now by getting on your knees and begging for mercy, and maybe I will spare you the pain that will come after. Plus, you are very good-looking. You might get lucky enough to become one of my henchmen."
Lovrina says and lets out an annoying laugh.
Julian "You think too highly of yourself,"
Julian says and sends out his pokemon into battle, Marshadow.
Since he is facing off against a near champion-level pokemon, Julian believes that it will be great for Marshadow to battle against. And now that Professor Krane is safe, and he has found the person in charge of this facility, he is in no hurry to end this.
Lovrina "Is that a Marshadow?"
Julian orders.
Marshadow too enters the phantom zone.
As soon as Marshadow enters the phantom zone, he notices Mismagius and gives chase.
Mismagius sees Marshadow and immediately goes on the attack, thinking that it can overpower Marshadow. Like trainer-like Pokemon.
What Mismagius doesn't know is that Marshadow is a much more capable user of the Phantom Force, as he has directly trained under Gengar.
Both Matshadow and Mismagius' bodies charge up by feeding off the phantom zone as they rush toward each other.
And when the clash, the phantom zone cracks. The power output from these two Pokemon is too much for this small pocket of a phantom zone that was created.
As the phantom zone cracks, both Julian and Lovrina back in the real world see a purple crack appear in thin air.
The crack then immediately expands like shattering glass and explodes, releasing a lot of energy. Julian covers his eyes and plants his foot to stabilize himself.
Lovrina, too, does the same as her pigtails flail violently.
Suddenly, both Marshadow and Mismagius appear in the real world and get pushed back from the recoil of their clash
Mismagius gets sent flying way further, almost crashing into Lovrina while Marshadow easily stabilizes himself.
Lovrina "What??? How is that possible?"
She is in shock as her Mismagius has never been the one to get pushed back in a battle, ever.
