"Although I am not happy with the way I lost this match, as the gym leader I present you with The Cliff Badge." Grant took out two badges and gave them to Cynthia and Itsuki.
"Thanks, Grant." Itsuki and Cynthia both put their Cliff Badge in their badge case.
"I am this year's Kalos League will be even more exciting than last year. Maybe we will see both of you facing each other in this year's Kalos League final."
.
Cynthia and Itsuki looked at each other and smiled. Words were not necessary to describe the rivalry between Cynthia and Itsuki. Both respected each other and both wanted to win more Championship titles.
"Well, we shall take our leave, Grant. I hope we will meet you at the Kalos League."
"Bye." Grant smiled seeing both Cynthia and Itsuki leave his gym. He can see that both Cynthia and Itsuki had something between them.
"If those were to become couples, they would become the strongest couple trainer in the whole world. But I wonder what would happen if Tobias were to join this year's league?"

"Where are we going?" Itsuki asked as Cynthia began to pull him in a certain direction as soon as they came out of the gym.
"There is a new restaurant that opened in this city. I want to try it out."
"By any chance, is the restaurant you're talking about called Spicy chicken?"
"Yeah. How do you know about it?" Cynthia asked with a surprised look.
"Why I shouldn't know about my restaurant?" While Itsuki was been training in the forest, he regularly has been talking with Amaterasu. With the help of the system, Itsuki recreated a few famous dishes from his old world. Now he is running 19 restaurants all over the Kalos region under a different company.
"Your restaurant?...How can I forget? You're a billionaire now." Cynthia said the last part in a sarcastic tone.
.
Itsuki chuckled and replied. "With all the money that you have earned in these past few months, you should be a billionaire by now."
"No, I am not. I invested all of my earnings in buying some strong Pokemon. In these 3 months, I also have attended several Auctions just to get my hands on some powerful Pokemon." The main reason why Cynthia did that was because of Itsuki. Cynthia knew how terrifying Itsuki's ability was. In less than 2 and half months, Itsuki had gotten strong to the point where he was able to injure her mid-5th order Garchomp.
.
Even today, when Itsuki fought against Grant, Cynthia was able to feel the tremendous improvement in Itsuki and his Pokemon. To compete with a monster like Itsuki, Cynthia has to get a team of powerful Pokemon. The last time, Cynthia checked Itsuki had two mythical Pokemon and one legendary Pokemon. Who knows this time, Itsuki might appear with another legendary Pokemon in his team.
Itsuki told Sabrina to not tell anyone about his Latias. Latias was his trump card that he wanted to reveal in the Kalos League.
.
"Come to think of it, I still haven't taken any new Pokemon in my team." In the forest, Itsuki wasn't interested in any of those Pokemon that he meet. All of these Pokemon were either too old or didn't match the type he was looking for.
'I still have to get Charizard and Greninja on my team. Given the potential both Pokemon have, I cannot miss out on bringing those two into my team.'
.
"If you're looking to buy new Pokemon, I think you should know something. With the increase in cash flow among the trainers, the value of royal Pokemon and 4th and 5th order Pokemon has gone through the roof. Before one hundred million was enough to buy a royal Pokemon but now even having 500 million wouldn't guarantee you a royal Pokemon."
"I had no idea about it." But Itsuki wasn't too shocked seeing the princes of royal pokemon go up. He had long expected something like this to happen in the near future. Given all the money that trainers got from trading money, nowadays trading pokemon had become the same as the stock market. In the future, it wouldn't be surprising if the princes went up once again.
.
"What Pokemon do you want to buy?" Cynthia curiously asked.
"I don't know. To be honest, I am very satisfied with my current team. Though I would still want a Charmander, Froakie, Infernape, Blaziken, Metagross, Lycanroc, Zoroark, Silvally, Heatran, Serperior,....STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP"
"Do you even realize what you're saying? All the names that you just mentioned a super ultra-rare Pokemon. Especially the last few names, even having billions cannot buy you those Pokemon. If you want to buy all these Pokemon, even if you sell your company and use all of your assets then you won't have enough to buy every Pokemon on the list."
.
"You're right. But that doesn't mean I giving up. This world is very free. Other than the Pokemon trading center, Pokemon can still be found in the forest. All I have to do is look for them." Itsuki refused to believe that he won't able to get all of these Pokemon before the Pokemon World Champion League starts.
"Well, if it's you then I guess you might even find them." Cynthia has been traveling for years now. But before meeting Itsuki she never had the luck of seeing even a single legendary Pokemon. After she met Itsuki, Cynthia met two legendary Pokemon. One was Articuno and another was Mewtwo.
.
"By the way, do you know how Mewtwo is doing now?" Cynthia asked after remembering about Mewtwo.
"I am not sure. Last time, she told me that she was going to travel and discover her true identity." While saying that Itsuki couldn't help but get curious. Last time, Mewtwo's Aura almost crushed Itsuki. This time Itsuki wanted to see if he could fight against Mewtwo. Even though his thoughts might sound crazy but Itsuki was confident in his powers.
.
After that Cynthia and Itsuki entered his restaurant. Both of them had lunch together and then left the restaurant.
"I am going to stay in this city for a few days. So we will have to separate temporarily." Itsuki was waiting to check if he can get any royal Pokemon.
"I am going to the next city and get my third badge."
.
"I see. By the way, what weapon do you use when fighting?" Itsuki asked.
Cynthia didn't ask why Itsuki out of nowhere asked this question. "I feel comfortable when I am using a spear. Swords or daggers are not for me."
"Okay."
.
"By the way Itsuki, can I ask you something?" Cynthia has been eager to ask this question for a while now.
"What is it?"
"Do you have any girlfriend or any fiance?" Cynthia didn't look at Itsuki's eyes when asking.
"No, I don't have any girlfriend at the moment." Itsuki replied without thinking much. But he failed to realize that his answer has caused some panic in Cynthia's heart.
.
"Great. I will be going now. Goodbye Itsuki." Cynthia stopped the cab and left
