After calling Lucario back to the Pokeball, Itsuki was about to head back to check on his Dragonite.
As Itsuki was walking back, he could hear the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people. Itsuki's had no interest in becoming a public figure but he has to admit that receiving all that cheers was really something.
.
"Cynthia now it's your match right?" Shizuka asked her daughter. Cynthia nodded her as she stood up.
"Good luck Cynthia."Serena respected Cynthia and wanted her to win.
Cynthia looked at Serena and nodded her head. Under everyone's gaze Cynthia wlaked out of the room.
.
[Second Match, Cynthia vs Barry. Both Cynthia and Barry are from Sinnoh region. It would br interesting to see who wins this match.]
Michael then took over. [It's no secret that Cynthia is favorite to win the match. Cynthia has a mid 5th order Pokémon, that alone gives Cynthia a huge boost and reduces the chances of Barry winning the battle. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Cynthia is most popular to win the Indigo League Championship.]
.
The Kanto Association workers was already working on fixing the battlefield. So the battle between Cynthia and Barry was delayed for few extra minutes.
.
Meanwhile, Itsuki after winning the battle directly went to check on his Dragonite. The Joy clan members had bought Dragonite to the backstage.
The backstage had a advance medical equipments and 5th order Healing Pokémon.
"Miss How is my Pokémon?" Itsuki was standing in front of a glass door and waiting for the result.
.
Even though Itsuki knew the injuries Dragonite suffered wouldn't harm her life, Itsuki still couldn't stop himself from being overly worried about his Pokemon.
The female was a member of Joy clan and had red long red hair and she was wearing typical nurse uniform.
The nurse smiled ss she looked at Itsuki's. "Mr Itsuki doesn't needs to worry. With our advanced medical technology and 5th order Healing Pokémon, your Dragonite will recover before the semi-finals."
.
Hearing the nurse words, Itsuki relaxed a lot. "Thank you Nurse Joy." Itsuki's said these sincere words from the bottom of his words.
"By the way, If it's not too much of a trouble then can you please give me your autograph? I am a big fan if yours." Itsuki blinked his eyes in surprise as he saw the average looking nurse joy taking out a paper and pen.
.
This was the first time someone had asked Itsuki for an Autograph. Seeing the expectant look on her face Itsuki couldn't bring himself to refuse her. Itsuki silently took the paper and pen from the nurse joy.
"Can I know your name miss?"
"My name is Fatima." Itsuki nodded his head. Itsuki wrote his name on the paper.
.
"Here you go Miss Fatima. This is my first time giving autograph so I am not that good at it." Itsuki helplessly rubbed his hair.
"Then I will treasure this Autograph even more. Thank you very much. I really want you to win the Indigo League." Itsuki nodded his head with a smile as he saw the priceless happy and sincere smiles on Fatima. At first Itsuki Fatima asked his autograph because she wanted to sell it but now it was confirmed that Fatima was a real fan who just wanted a autograph from her idol.
.
After meeting with Fatima, Itsuki was walking back to meet his parents and everyone.
Itsuki!
Itsuki turned back and saw Suzune was standing behind him. "What are you doing here?" Itsuki asked.
"I came to congratulate you of course. Are you busy?"
Itsuki took small steps and closed the distance between them. "Why?" Itsuki asked as he closed the distance between them and now was standing 1 meter away from Suzune.
.
Suzune cheeks slightly turned red as she look into his eyes. "I just came to return your Shirt. I have washed it properly." Itsuki took the Shirt from Suzune.
"Thank you. I wasn't expecting you to return my Shirt. But I guess I was wrong."
"I have no interest in your shirt. Hmph!" Suzune snorted and then looked away.
.
"Then are you interested in my body?"
Suzune "___"
"No"
"Are you interested in other boys?" Suzune was getting irritated from this stupid questions that Itsuki was asking her.
"No"
"Are you indirectly telling me that you only have interest in girls? Doesn't that make you lesbi.....gulp!" Itsuki was forced shut his mouth when he saw the murderous gaze of Suzune.
.
"Do you have anything to say?" Suzune coldly asked. Itsuki could tell that his joke had a negative effect on her.
[Second match is going to start now.] Itsuki and Suzune heard the commentator words.
"Thank you for washing my Shirt. I have to watch this match. I will be on my way Miss Suzune." Itsuki didn't wanted to stay there and further test the hot boiling water.
.
Seeing Itsuki leave, Suzune sighed as she rubbed her forehead.
Suzune thought that she had sealed away her emotions. She thought she could control her emotions. But after last two interactions with Itsuki, Suzune felt she was wrong.
Itsuki was able to make her lose control over her emotions. Whenever she meets Itsuki, she always feels angry, irritated, embarrassed and most strange of all a warm feeling in her heart.
.
Cynthia and Barry had reached the battlefield. In less than 5 minutes the Kanto Association had rebuild the destroyed battlefield. The huge crater that had formed during Itsuki and Gary's battle had completely disappeared and leaving no signs of destruction.
Currently Cynthia and Barry was standing opposite to each other and waiting for the referee's words.
[Battle begins]
.
[The second battle of the this round will start now.]
"Cynthia I am a big fan of yours. You have inspired me and other trainers from Sinnoh to become a Pokémon trainer. I know I am lacking in many areas. I might not be the best Pokémon trainer but I am a passionate one. I will give my all to defeat you." Barry threw his Pokeball.
Click!
Snorlax!
.
Snorlax is a very large and fat, mammalian Pokémon that has grayish-blue fur and an apricot-color underbelly. Its eyes are always closed, making it look as if it is sleeping. It has two visible lower teeth that stick out of its mouth when closed.
.
[It a Snorlax. Who would have thought we would see a Snorlax in this year's Indigo League.]
[Snorlax is known for its relaxed and somewhat-sluggish nature. It will sleep all day until it is hungry, when it will awake and forage for the 880 pounds (399 kilograms) of food it needs, afterwards falling back to sleep again. Because of its eating habits, it can interfere with human farming by destroying crops for food, but it is also believed to release a kind of energy to help new plants grow wherever it ate.]
.
[I can't even began to imagine how much Barry would have feed to fill Snorlax blackhole stomach.] Everyone laughed at Michael's joke.
.
Itsuki returned to the VIP room in time and found that Barry already had taken out his first Pokémon.
"It's a Snorlax huh" Serena, Sabrina, and others looked back hearing Itsuki's voice.
"You're back. Congratulation Itsuki. With your victory, your place in the Semi-final is confirmed." Itsuki thanked everyone and focused his gaze on the TV screen.
.
"Come out Lucario."
Click!
Lucario!
Everyone was stunned to see another Lucario in this round. Everyone turned to Itsuki as if asking to know if he knew anything about it.
"I had no idea about this. Never thought Cynthia would get a Lucario as well."
.
[Its a Lucario. It would be really interesting to see Itsuki's Lucario fight against Cynthia's Lucario.]
"Barry please start the battle." Barry nodded and then called for his first move.
