Since there are two ways to reach the plain lands of Canalave, one is to go across Lake Verity and the other is from route 202 since he had to restock some things for him and his pokemons he decided to go with the route 202.

While traveling he found a small store that sold many things he needed to he stopped by. ​​

He got off from his bike and walked into the small shop, he didn't expect this small shop to have everything, it had pokemon food from even his company, there are lots of candies and Crystal's eyes are latched onto them.

It flew out of his pocket and bolted towards the candy jars kept on the shelves, luckily Julian is fast enough and caught Crystal before it broke anything.

Julian "Crystal not now, I will give it to you later"

Crystal put its head down in disappointment and went back into his pocket.

As Julian looked around for the shopkeeper he found no one inside.

Julian "Where could have they gone?"

He wondered.

Julian "Let me collect what I need first then I will pay the shopkeeper when they return"

He said and started to collect some raw ingredients, even though he sells his pokemon food, he still likes to hand cook for them.

As Julian is busy collecting stuff he didn't notice a middle-aged man is standing right behind him with a smile on his face.

As Julian finished collecting what he needed he turned around and got startled by seeing the middle-aged man.

Seeing the middle-aged man his eyes went big.

God "It's been a while, isn't it Julian"

Julian "God"

He didn't expect to see him again.

God "Hahahaha, sit down and join me for some tea time, I was getting bored"

He said and walked toward the small tea table at the corner of the room, Julian joined him and sat down, it's his third time meeting God and he has no idea what he did to talk with him.

The cup in front of him is already filled with tea, Julian lifted it and started to drink.

Crystal peeked out its head as it smelled the tea's fragrance, it then saw the middle-aged man looking at it with a smile, Crystal quickly went back and hid from the middle-aged man, Crystal didn't even notice the man before seeing him.

God "You made something unexpected"

He said.

Julian knew he is talking about Crystal.

Julian "I didn't know this would happen"

God "Fate is something that cannot be predicted, one will know what his fate was at the end of his journey, it was in written in the fate that this little thing was to be born and now it is with you"

He said and smiled.

Crystal peeked out its head once again and looked at the middle-aged man with curious eyes, it could tell that this man was not human nor pokemon.

God "Come here"

He said and beckoned.

Crystal flew towards him and circled him to get familiar.

Sensing no harm Crystal sat down on his shoulder.

God "This little fellow is a curious one, I would love to see where it will take you too"

Julian just nodded.

Julian "I had something in my mind for a very long time and it's been bothering me very much"

God "I know what you want to ask, is it your feeling for Chloe?"

Julian "Yes, I am not able to figure it out myself, why did I care for her so much even though we only hang out for a day"

God "Are you sure about that?"

Julian "What do you mean?"

God "She might just be someone you might have known from your previous world, maybe someone you loved, who knows. You might not have been reincarnated but there might be others as well who were reborn"

Julian "Do you mean"

Julian asked as he thought about his past, he only loved one woman but he never got her love, now he is a completely new person he didn't think about his previous life.

God "Sometimes a memory a soul carries can never be erased, even if you severed your karma from that world you still have the feelings of that old man in you"

Julian went silent as he thought about it.

Julian "Do you mean Chloe is someone from my previous world as well, someone I loved before, could it be Mary?"

He asked in astonishment.

God "Indeed"

Julian laughed awkwardly.

Julian "I don't know what to think about it, I am not that old man any more and the person I fell in love is Chloe, let's just keep it at that"

God smiled and nodded.

Soon they both finished their tea and it was time for God to leave.

God "This time it will be a wild ride for you hope you are prepared"

He said and disappeared.

Julian just sat there and thought about what he said.

Julian "A wild ride huh? I don't know what it might be but I am waiting"

He said and laughed, he got up from his seat and tried to walk out of the shop but he was suddenly got poked by a stick on his back.

He turned around and saw an old woman staring at him.

Old Woman "Aren't you going to pay for all those things?"

Julian "Ah, here it is"

He said and paid the money, he is a little embarrassed.

Crystal giggled seeing this, it went back into his pocket and cozies itself and fell asleep.
