Chapter 1342: The Looming War
Julian decides to stop the battle, as he has seen enough to begin Marshadow's serious training and put him under some rigorous training starting tomorrow.
But he also needs to focus on the upcoming events that might happen any day now.
The threat of Cipher looms over Alola and it clearly has an effect on the people of Alola. Even though the people of Alola have not been informed about the looming threat, they can sense that something is not right.
The increase in the number of police forces and the presence of soldiers has been noticed by the people and they are questioning what is happening.
Rumors about a war looming over their head are also spreading around the islands, as some information might have been leaked.
Because of the rumors, some people on the islands have decided to leave Alola to be safe while others decided to shut themselves inside their homes.
There are still some people who continue to live their daily life as usual believing that it is just rumors at the end of the day and things will soon get back to normal.
Julian knew this was normal. He knows that the silence before the war is chilling, but it is still a lot better than the war itself. Luckily, the people of the Alola islands won't have to experience it as they have the power to stop it right before it begins.
During his previous life, he didn't have any power, so he became a part of the war as he didn't want to be a victim. But this time, he has the power to end the war before it even gets serious.
That is why Julian is not going to hold back when Cipher comes knocking on the doors of Alola islands. He has some of his big hitters ready to end it grand.

Julian looked at all of his Pokemon running around and playing after they were done with their training.
He has spent a considerable amount of time in Alola but he has not caught many pokemons here. The past him would have already caught all the pokemons he would have wanted to catch or would be close to completing it.
But here in Alola, he has been a little lax. He wondered if he should get back to catching pokemons and collecting Z-crystals.
Julian got distracted by the matters of Cipher, but once he deals with them, he is going back to catching and collecting pokemons and Z-crystals.
Julian "Ok everyone, it's time for lunch, then we leave"
Julian said and prepared lunch for his pokemons. He was also successful in preparing special recipes for Marshadow, who is loving the food.
Once the pokemons were done with lunch, Julian put them back in their Pokeballs and went back into the city.
The path back to the city is different than usual as there are very few people on the streets. He can feel the tension in the air but he expected it.
War is the worst thing that could happen and it is natural to be afraid of it and be prepared for the worse.
Almost all stores and stalls are closed making it look like the city has been abandoned. On the way, he saw some police officers and military men patrolling around to maintain control.
This will be a sight people are expected to see until this war ends.
At the end of the day, these things are necessary to make sure that suspicious personnel do not enter the islands when they are on the brink of war.
Julian reached his hotel, which has also stopped taking in any more customers. The staff members noticed Julian and welcomed him like always.
The members of the hotel are at least glad that Julian is living in their hotel, making them a little secure about the current state of Alola.
Julian smiles and goes back to his hotel room, which is a mess. His clothes, along with some ladies' underwear, are on the floor.
Of course, with his handsomeness and libido, it didn't take him long to bring Officer Jenny to his hotel room in these short few days and make her his.
With tensions rising, it doesn't take long for people to find a way to release it. Jenny should be coming today as well, so he won't be sleeping alone tonight.

Midnight_
On top of his bed, Julian and Officer Jenny lie naked. Jenny was exhausted from the intense exercise session that they had just gone through.
Julian "How are your people handling the situation?"
Julian asked.
Jenny "They are all tensed because of the upcoming war. They all fear for their life. Some of them have become depressed."
She answered with a sigh. Morale is very low amongst her people and fears the worst is yet to come.
Julian didn't say anything. Even though he can handle most of it on his own, he knows that even with all his powers, he can only do so much.
He will need these people, as war isn't fought by a single person.
Julian "You should rest. It might happen any day now."
Julian said and closed his eyes.
Jenny hummed and hugged Julian as she felt a little scared. Even though Julian promised he would take care of it all, it doesn't always end up as planned.
