Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 595
Advertisement
Julian is intrigued about the legends behind the legendaries of the Unova Region, it takes him a day to reach Nacrene city, during his ride he saw some pokemons that he hasn't seen before but he didn't catch any of them.
They didn't meet his standards, even though he loves likes every pokemon that doesn't mean he will raise anyone.
He wants to find the best out of the bunch so they can be the best in the world.
After getting a room in a nice hotel in Nacrene city he sat down on the couch and watched the TV, he is waiting for tomorrow, the exhibition match between the two elite fours, these type of battles are very common around the regions governed by the League.
They held these kinds of massive exhibition battles to bring in some funds for their operation and since the public likes to watch powerful trainers battle each other they will have to pay for it.
This is how the world works and nobody questioned anything about it, it was a win-win situation to them, they were getting entertained and enjoyment out of these matches while the League was profiting from them.
Julian switched to a news channel in which he saw something interesting.
Reporter "A thunder cloud has been seen near the sea south of Nuveman Town, it is a very unusual phenomenon as thunder clouds are not present during this time of the year, scientists believe that this is an unnatural phenomenon created either by a pokemon or something else?"
The TV then showed the massive thunder cloud that crackled with lightning, Julian saw this and is surprised, such a massive thunder cloud and it is out of season.
Julian "Now this is interesting, it hasn't even been a few days since I got here and I am already seeing unusual stuff"

He said and smiled while looking at the massive thunder cloud, the thunder cloud seems to be still and not moving around so there is no danger from it.
But there are some concerns about this thunder cloud if it's natural it's not a big deal, even though lightning from natural thunder clouds are a thousand times more powerful than a Thunder Attack from a pokemon but the damage that they leave behind is not huge because they only strike under a second and under that second they can cause a lot of damage to a single target, they don't cause mass destruction which an Electric-type pokemon can do.
The electricity from an Electric-type pokemon is very different from natural lightening from a thunder cloud created by nature, even though their properties are the same they react differently, while a bolt of normal lightning needs to form a circuit and completely a rotation to cause any damage, the electricity from an Electric-type pokemons doesn't need to follow that recruitment, that is why they can cause massive damage to a Flying-type pokemon but a natural Lightning has no effect on them, same could be said for planes as well, as they are not on the ground, a bolt of natural lightning cannot do any damage to a flying plane.
So Julian is worried.
If this is really a natural phenomenon he has nothing to worry about, even if someone gets hit by a bolt of lightning and they will die but it's only one person, but if this is a rouge pokemon its attack can injure a lot of people and pokemon and destroy a lot of properties, even though the lightning will not be as fatal as a real natural bolt of lightning it is still dangerous.
Electric-type pokemons are the most mysterious type of pokemons in the world, their power is so similar to natural electricity but they don't react the same, that is also the reason by electric types are also one of the most destructive typing for an attack-type pokemon.

Julian's concern is justified but he cannot act, he has just arrived in Unova and he cannot cause a ruckus here and the thunder cloud hasn't been a problem at all.
Julian "I should not worry about it"
He said and switched the channel while forgetting about the thunder cloud, tomorrow is the big day where he might meet his girlfriend's best friend from her childhood who is also a champion level pokemon trainer and the strongest of the Elite Four in Unova.
The day goes by as nothing special happens, he feeds his pokemons, and watch Crystal and Victini play with Garchomp, now that he is a big boy the two little once continue bullying him by climbing onto his back fin and hanging off it as Garchomp tried to struggle and get them off him.
Julian just laughs seeing this.
He just went to sleep after that, he has already booked a ticket for tomorrow's event so he has nothing to do now.
Crystal followed him and slept next to him as well, Julian wants to see what Unova has up its sleeve for him, Unova is a very developed region with a lot of advance technology being produced and created here and the pokemons found here are also very unique in their own ways.
There are so many pokemon species in Unova that Julian has never seen before so he is excited and his excitement could be felt by Crystal and it also got excited for no reason, it just felt happy.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

But Yan Hao has no choice than to enter the Spirit Realms and fight, because the Phoenix Coin, which is located there, is the only thing which can save his ill sister.
