__________Scene change
Somewhere in Kanto region
"What are we going to do now? Are we going to surrender to the police?' Asked one of the team rocket members. Giovanni had left 20 team rocket members to protect their main base in case anyone raided the base while he was gone. Everyone was expecting Giovanni to kill the elite four and completely take over Kanto. No one was expecting the death of Giovanni. Now everyone left they had lost their directions. They desperately needed a leader.
.
"Surrender to Police? Do you think the police will spare us just because we surrendered? This attack news has made the Kanto Association feel humiliated, I am sure they will publicly execute us to wash their shame. One way or the other, I don't think the Kanto Association will let us go." Everyone turned silent. No one knew what they should do in this situation. Even the scientist that Giovanni forced to work on this project looked lost. After what they have done, whether it was forced or not, those scientists now had no place in society.
.
Giovanni has forced them to do lots of cruel things. Starting from researching Pokemon to researching a human child. They have done an uncountable number of cruel things. So much so that they had lost their humanity and become something else.
As everyone was thinking about what to do, suddenly an unwanted visitor came.
Bang!
The red steel door which was 10 meters in size, suddenly broke. "Who is there?" Everyone raised their guns.
.
Tap! Tap!
Everyone heard the slow and steady footsteps of a person. The person slowly emerged from the shadow. Just looking at that person made everyone tremble in fear. He was wearing a black cloak with red clouds patterns on it. Even in the dark, his purple eyes seem to glow. Just looking at his purple eyes, everyone felt their souls were being sucked.
As the man approached, the darkness covering him also slowly disappeared as more and more details about his body were revealed
.
"This world needs salvation. I will be the savior that his world needs." Everyone couldn't stop trembling. They left their knees to go weak and one after another everyone kneeled in front of that man.
"From now on I will be your new light" The man with spiky hair suddenly started to float in the air as everyone looked at the man like they were looking at a God.
______________________Scene change
When Itsuki and Cynthia returned, he had to console his mother for nearly 15 minutes as she cried in his arms. Itsuki had his mother that he was hiding with Cynthia and taking care of her the entire while the elite four and other Association members fought Mewtwo. Only when Mewtwo was defeated, did Itsuki come out with Cynthia. Fortunately, Cynthia also played along and confirmed Itsuki's words. Even though everyone still looked suspicious when they saw Sabrina unconscious in Itsuki's arms, no one asked anything and everyone returned to the hotel,
.
While Itsuki was carrying Sabrina in his arms, he noticed Serena and Luna pouting and giving jealous looks.
After returning to the hotel, Cynthia went to take a rest. She was still tired and weak from bearing the pressure of Mewtwo's Aura. While Cynthia's Aura power was at Aura Discipline, Mewtwo's Aura rank according to Itsuki's estimation was above 3rd tier and was in 'Aura Princess' rank. Fortunately other than feeling weak, Cynthia didn't have any other issues.
.
The news of Team Rocket attacking and disturbing the Indigo League spread throughout the entire world. The people who before ignored the Indigo League now became interested and watched the scene where team rocket intervened.
Fortunately, because Itsuki ordered the system to shut down all the cameras, nothing was recorded. So the world doesn't know that Itsuki had a Legendary Pokemon and he can also use supernatural powers.
.
Before the evening, Lance and Lorelei, representing the Indigo League sent out an apology video that went viral very fast. People who never used the internet also began to use the internet to watch videos.
It was also announced that the winner of the Indigo League will be revealed tomorrow. But sadly no can could attend the event as more than half of the main stadium was destroyed. The League could use one of the other nine small stadiums located around the main stadium.
.
At 8 o'clock, everyone except for Sabrina met at the dining table. Sabrina was still unconscious. According to the system, Sabrina should wake up tomorrow morning. Seeing everyone in a positive mood, Itsuki then announced that Cynthia had won the Indigo League. Everyone congratulated Cynthia and celebrated her victory.
While everyone celebrated, deep down Cynthia felt bitter. Because to her, a victory would mean defeating Itsuki's every Pokemon. Technically she never defeated Zeraora as team rocket had intervened.
.
Cynthia considered this match a draw as she never defeated Itsuki entirely. Cynthia also knew that her win might become a controversial topic since she never completed defeated Itsuki. But there was nothing she could do about it since Itsuki wasn't going to listen to her words.
'If Itsuki was given a little more time. Forget about a year, if he was given even another month, then I am sure his Pokemon would have overpowered my Pokemon.' Deep down, a strong desire to fight Itsuki in another League began to rise in Cynthia's heart. This time both Itsuki and Cynthia would have an equal start and equal time to make their Pokemon stronger. This time she wanted to have an equal and fair competition and cleanly defeat Itsuki.
.
After celebrating for 2 hours, Itsuki first checked on Sabrina. After that, he returned to his bedroom.
2 hours later...
Tik! Tik! Tik!
In the silent bedroom, Itsuki could hear the Tik sound of the clock. Itsuki couldn't sleep after all the crazy things that happened today.
.
'I defeated both Gary and Ash even though both of them cheated. Then I fought with Cynthia and had my dream match. Then Giovanni came and I met Mewtwo. A lot has happened today. But the only thing that I regret the most is making those silly mistakes that cost me to lose the Championship.' Thinking about the mistakes he made during the battle, Itsuki started to feel depressed and felt that without the system he would have been no one.
.
Sigh!
'What should I do now?' Initially, Itsuki thought he would end this year's Indigo League by becoming the Champion. The consequences of losing never crossed Itsuki's mind.
Knock! Knock!
"Itsuki, you wake?" Itsuki got up after hearing his mother's voice. "Come in mom" Just from hearing her baby's voice, Rui knew that something was not right with Itsuki. Itsuki's voice lacked the usual enthusiasm.
.
"Can't sleep." Rui walked inside the room. The moonlight reflected from the open curtain fell on Itsuki. Rui saw the depressed look on her son's face.
Rui also felt depressed and sad when she saw this side of her son. Ever since Itsuki was born, he never cried or showed any negative emotions. Itsuki was the bright and positive light that kept the whole family happy and blessed. Itsuki's enthusiasm always attracted people to him. He was always the bright shining sun.
.
Rui sat next to Itsuki and looked at the bright and lively Saffron city that never slept. "You know Itsuki, I was really happy to see you and Cynthia in the finals. At that moment, when your strongest attack hit Cynthia's Garchomp and still managed to stand despite the injury we all knew you had lost the match. I am really happy that Cynthia won and you lost." Itsuki looked at his mother in confusion.
Rui smiled at Itsuki, her eyes were full of motherly love for her son. "Itsuki you're perfect. No human or Pokemon is perfect. But you're probably the only human who has come this close to perfection. You're a perfect child, perfect student, perfect friend, perfect in almost every way. The things you lack in could be counted with my fingers."
.
"When it comes to being a Pokemon trainer, even though you're a genius, you cannot compare with Cynthia. Cynthia is the most talented and natural genius. It's like she was born to become a Pokemon trainer. Cynthia may be lacking in other areas but when it comes to being a Pokemon trainer, she is a genius among geniuses. I am not saying that you cannot defeat Cynthia because her talent in being a trainer is better than yours. You have something that Cynthia lacks. Do you know what is it?"
.
Itsuki shook his head. "Your undying will and hunger to accomplish success. You can surpass Cynthia if you never give up and keep training as you did for one month. History has proven that even a genius can be beaten with enough hard work. Today she might have defeated you, but that doesn't mean she would defeat you in the next one. As long as you persist and don't give up, I am sure you will surpass her in the future." Rui could notice the change in Itsuki. That day, Rui's words changed Itsuki and those words were written in Itsuki's heart.
