Chapter 184 - Tobias and Darkrai

"So, are we leaving today?" While eating the delicious lunch that Itsuki cooked for them, Sabrina asked.

"How long do you even want us to stay in this forest? We have been training in this forest for 90 days now. We have achieved the purpose of our training. Also I have some work outside, as much as I want to train, I will have to leave this forest for a while. I might return after few weeks or a month." With three months of non-stop training, everyone has made lots of progress.

Seeing Sabrina looking disappointed, Itsuki stopped eating and sighed. "Beside, you can't just leave your life behind and stay here. Now that you have learned to control your killing intent, you will have to go back and resume your work as a gym leader."

.

Sabrina nodded with an understanding look. These three months felt like they had passed so quickly. Sabrina also realized the fact that she is the only girl who has spent this much time with Itsuki. This made me very happy. After 3 months of staying together, Sabrina also has confirmed that Itsuki does have feelings for her. It's a matter of time before things progress to the next level.

During these 3 months, Itsuki also trained her Pokemon. Although the progress of her Pokemon wasn't that fast when compared to the progress Itsuki's Pokemon made but still they managed to level up a few times. Sabrina was very satisfied with her current Pokemon's power.

.

"Once you finish your work, I assume you will return to resume your training. Now that I think about it, you still have 4 months and 16 days before the Kalos League starts. By now this year's Johto League must have been finished as well." Everyone was having their lunch while sitting under a big tree, in an open field. The wind blowing from the north was cooling down the pre-heat of the summer.

"A person named Jon Dickson won the Silver Conference." Like the Indigo League, the Silver Conference is a reference to the location, Indigo League to Indigo Plateau and Mt. Silver to Silver Conference.

.

"Did you watch the Silver Conference League?" Sabrina asked while all the Pokemon sitting around paying attention to their master's conversation.

"No, I still haven't gotten the chance. Someone uploaded the highlight on Mewtube. I am planning on watching the Silver Conference League one of these days."

"By the way, I just remembered that the Hoenn League was going to start next month. Do you have any plans of watching it?"

"I am only watching watch the fight between the top 10. As for the rest, I would be just watching my time watching their fights." By watching Pokemon fights, trainers can learn many things. Itsuki could familiarize himself by watching the fights of the top-tier trainers in each region's leagues. That way he will be more prepared for his upcoming Kalos League.

.

"Speaking of Leagues, do you know who won this year's Sinnoh League?" Itsuki asked.

"What? You don't know?" Sabrina had a surprised look on her face. Unlike most times, this Sabrina had no coldness covering her beautiful face. Staying with Itsuki for 3 months has influenced and changed her in many ways.

"At that time, I was training to prepare for my Indigo League." Itsuki explained with a helpless smile. After the Indigo League, this matter completely slipped out of his mind.

"Well, it was a powerful trainer. After the Indigo League, the Sinnoh League gained second-most attention because of that trainer."

.

From Sabrina's words, it was clear who she was talking about. He was the trainer that was unbeaten. Even when Itsuki was watching the anime, he had left a deep impression on his mind. To this day, Itsuki has been preparing to fight him.

"So it was Tobias"

"How do you know him?"

"Let's just say, I have heard of him even before he won the Sinnoh League." Itsuki said with a serious face. Tobias is someone that shouldn't be taken lightly. He was able to trash everyone in the League. No one was strong enough to see his third Pokemon.

.

"Let me tell you, while the Indigo League was a League of struggles for trainers. This year's Sinnoh League was completely one-sided. Every trainer that stood in his way was humiliated and trashed. No trainer was strong enough to even come closer to defeating this monster. No one was able to get past his Darkrai. No one knew what his second or other Pokemon were as no trainer managed to defeat his Darkrai."

For a moment the entire place fell into deep silence, only the sound of northern wind could be heard.

Zeraora! [Master, if my memory is right then Darkrai should be a legendary Pokemon, right?] Itsuki nodded his head with a serious face.

.

"Darkrai is also known as the master of the nightmare. No Pokemon can escape from its terrifying nightmare. If Tobias joins this year's Kalos League, then things could really get tough." There is no doubt that Tobias' strength was even greater than Cynthia's.

"Yeah, due to his strength, people were also beginning to call Tobias the next Blue and red. If Tobias continues to grow at this rate, then in the coming world Championship, he might become the next Pokemon Master."

.

"That won't happen." Itsuki tightly clenched his fists while his eyes flashed in killing intent. "This time, I refuse to make the same mistakes as last time. We will train twice hard as before and win this year's Kalos League."

"I support you with my 100%. I am sure your hundred million followers in Pokegram would want that too." In these 3 months, Itsuki has gained more than 178 million followers, making Itsuki the most followed person on Pokegram.

.

"I don't think they are my fans" Itsuki replied with a helpless look.

"Itsuki, I think you're still underestimating your popularity. While it's true that you still haven't won any Major League, the attention you have gained from the Indigo League and from bringing a world-changing technology to this world, is very huge."

"People like controversial things. When the team rocket attacked and forcefully stopped the Indigo League, this incident caught millions of people's attention. While it's true that you have admitted your defeat in the Indigo League final, there is a popular opinion on the internet saying that you could have defeated Cynthia if the team rocket had not intervened."

.

"I am sure the media is just creating a debate between me and Cynthia to gain more attention." Itsuki sighed while continuing to eat his food. So far many big media channels have tried to contact Itsuki to interview him on their channel. So far, Itsuki has refused every one of them, regardless of the money that the TV channel owners were willing to pay him.

But at this point, money held no value to Itsuki. His money was continuously increasing. While about 90% of the profit earned was invested back in other sectors with Amaterasu's help, Itsuki still has more than 8 billion in his account.

.

"I have to say these few years so many talented and genius trainers were emerging from Sinnoh region. Last year, it was Paul's big brother who won the Sinnoh League. Though it's a shame that we retired. I would have loved the idea of facing him in a League."

"Yes, Currently there is Cynthia, Tobias, Paul, and Barry. 4 geniuses from the Sinnoh region. In these passing years, the Sinnoh region has been rising rapidly in its political and military powers. Two of their geniuses Cynthia and Tobias are ranked at the world's top. While Tobias is ranked number one, Cynthia is ranked number 2 and you're rank is number 3." Every year based on the performance of a trainer in each League, the united regions would release a rank chart. Itsuki usually doesn't bother checking his rank. But he wasn't expecting to be in the top 3.

.

"Ever Since you have announced your confirmation of joining the Kalos League, it has been found that the number of trainers in the Kalos region has been increasing. So this time, it wouldn't be surprising if the participant number broke through the ten thousand mark."

"Seriously"

"Yeah. This is happening all because of you."

"You should honestly be aware of such changes happening because of you. Your influence in the world has very big."

.

After chatting with Sabrina while eating, it was finally time to leave the forest.
