Julian gets out from the volcano to see that he has been inside for more than five hours.
Julian 'I didn't expect the time to fly this fast, I have defeated a legendary pokemon, this makes one out of three next I will try to search for Articuno, if I am correct it must be in Seafoam Island'
Julian reach the town and walks towards the ferry which he came from when he reaches there he finds out the ferry will leave in an hour, seeing that he has nothing to do the walks to the shore and waits there as he was sitting on a dock an Old man comes towards him with a fishing rod and a bucket
Old Man "Young man are you here on a vacation"
Julian looks at the Old Man and thinks that he is a local resident of this Island
Julian "No I am here to train"
Old Man "Ah, I see you must have come here to see the Legendary Pokemon Moltres"
Julian "Hm? How did you know"
Old Man "Only a few people come to these Island for vacation and the ones who come here for training mostly are here to see Moltres after they here the rumors, but let me tell you a secret it's not a rumor, Moltres does live inside Mt. Ember very few people in this Island knows about it and most of them even forgot about its existence"
Julian "Why are you telling me this?"
Old Man "I saw you a while ago coming from the direction of Mt. Ember, don't give up so easily very few people can see it, people who encounter it are very lucky"
Julian "I see but don't worry mister I saw Moltres"
Old Man "Hm Its ok, WAIT WHAT?"
Julian "I said I met Moltres inside the volcano"
Old Man "I see you are a very fortunate person, not many people can have this kind of opportunity"
The Old Man stop speaking and continued after sometime
Old Man "Have you visited the Navel Rock island?"
Julian "Why? what's special about it?"
Old Man "Its just a rumor I heard that the Legendary pokemons Lugia and Ho-Oh reside there, seeing that you are a lucky person you might get a chance to see them, but I am not sure if this rumor is true or not"
Julian 'Yes, I completely forgot about the Navel Rock, the home of the legendary duo Lugia and Ho-Oh, but finding them will be more difficult than anything, they won't just appear before me and say hi right, but I think I should visit this Navel Rock island I want to see this place they call home'
Julian "Thank you for the information, Mister, I hope you have a great day"
Julian sees that the ferry is about to leave so he gets up and leaves, seeing that Julain leaves the Old Man sighs
Old Man "Its so good to be young you can go around traveling and experience life to the fullest"
Julian sets of to Navel Rock and he reaches there in just one hour as its the eighth island of the Sevii Islands, when Julian reaches there its already evening so he decides to camp near the beach, he brings out all his Pokemons and allows them to play around Gyarados as usual went on his exploration trip but this time he went Kabuto, his other pokemons where playing a game which exercised their control over their powers making it flexible and versatile they always played this game of hitting a ball of clay without breaking it but the ball has to move very fast sometime they would fail but they will continue the game again this way their control over their element has also risen significantly.
Julian looking at his pokemons having fun smiles and looks around the island he only sees rocks everywhere and a huge rock which looks like a mountain right in the middle.
Julian 'With this Island filled with rocks I get it why they call it Navel Rock Island, but even if I find an entrance to go inside I know there is going to be a maze down there'
Seeing that it's going to be nightfall very soon he decides to rest while his pokemons can do whatever they want, as he goes to sleep his pokemons are still training and suddenly they here a voice calling them, but they felt like the voice was from inside them, they look around to see that no one was there except Julian who was sleeping, Gyarados also comes back with Kabuto as he also got a call, when they look around they finally see who was the one calling them, a little pokemon floating in the air with washed out pink color body and a long tail covering it mouth as it looked like it was laughing and having fun, even though Julian's pokemons were wary of this unknown visitor but after a second they calmed down as they didn't feel any malicious towards them from it, It started to float around and started to play with Julian's pokemons as it created a bubble and started to play the same game again but this time using this bubble which was harder than a normal one, after finished playing the misterious pokemon suddenly disappeared in thin air, when they start looking around they heard a voice
Julian "What are you guys looking for?"
When they saw Julian woke up they start to make hand gestures to tell Julian, but Julian could understand very little from there signs but he was still able to figure out something
Julian 'Looks like they were playing with some unknown pokemon which then suddenly disappeared, if my guess is correct it must be the one following me and from all these events happening I think I know who this culprit is, but why is it following me, from what I know it started to follow me when I entered that unknown forest, well it will show itself when it wants to'
Julian "Ok guys that's enough, you all should go to sleep tomorrow is going to be a long day"
So they all go to sleep, next day Julian wakes up and decides to explore the rocks after he gets near it he finally realizes that how big this mass of rock really is. He starts to climb up but he cannot find any clue leaving him disappointed, but he doesn't give up the climbs and climbs until he reaches the top, when he reaches the top he sees nothing but a plain field with a rock platform and on top of it is a feather which is shining brightly with rainbow color, he walks forward and picks up the feather, he also finds some ashes which are also shining.
Julian 'Who would have thought that on top of this rock is a Ho-Oh feather and some sacred ashes, even if I couldn't see this Legendary Pokemon I at least have its feather'
Julian puts the ashes inside his pouch and is ready to leave when he hears a bird cry as he looks up he sees a pokemon as its wings shine with seven colors as it leaves a rainbow trail behind it.
Julian 'Looks like I am really lucky, My only goal in this life is to reach the top and enjoy it to the fullest and this feather will represent it'
He holds the feather high in the air as he promises himself, Ho-Oh who is flying far away could feel Julian's desire to reach the top with this Ho-Oh cries one last time as if it is saying something to Julian and disappears into the sky.
Julian hears the cry and is satisfied even he doesn't know what it wants to say, he is just satisfied that Ho-Oh answered to his promise, he puts the feather inside the pouch and is ready to leave, unknown to Julian there was other two pokemon watching him from under the water one was Lugia and another was the Mysterious Pokemon who has been following him from the day it saw Julian while sitting on Lugia's head as it looked like it is smiling while covering its mouth with its tiny hands.
