Chapter 41 - Zeraora's potential is limited and her level won't exceed level 35

Sabrina for some reason felt very comfortable in this position. Her hands grabbed Itsuki's waist and she buried her head in his chest even without realizing.

'How long its been since the last time I felt something warm like this?' Sabrina asked herself. She was lost in her thoughts.

.

'Dammit, I hope she won't open her mouth and say some harsh words again' But then Itsuki saw Sabrina burying her head on his chest. This action dumbfounded Itsuki.

'What is happening?' Itsuki didn't think Sabrina would bury her head on his chest just because of his handsomeness. No, Sabrina never was affected by his handsomeness. 'So what is happening? I want to escape from this awkward situation.'

.

Itsuki endured this whole complicated situation for few minutes. Finally the crowd could move ahead. Itsuki sighed in relief and called Sabrina.

"Sabrina, Let's go." Finn took Sabrina's hand and pulled her. Sabrina felt little disappointed when she lost the warmth. Sabrina quickly hide her disappointed expression and quickly put her usual stern expression.

.

Itsuki and Sabrina walked for another 20 minutes. "We are finally out." Itsuki took a breath in relief. Itsuki isn't that fond of crowded place. Itsuki usually avoids crowded place.

At the exit, a police car was waiting for Sabrina. Seeing Sabrina, the police approached her and saluted her. "Ma'am, we are waiting for you. Please get in. We will escort to your house." Sabrina nodded without changing her expression.

.

Before getting inside the car, Sabrina took a look at Itsuki. For some reason Sabrina wanted to spend more time with Itsuki. Sabrina was unwilling to separate from Itsuki. She felt very comfortable with Itsuki.

But Sabrina also knew to respect other people's wishes. But before she left, she wanted to say something to Itsuki.

.

"I am not working with the Team Rocket anymore. I have quit Team Rocket for my own reason. I don't care what Team Rocket wants from you. But know that if you do something illegal in this city then I will personally arrest you. One more thing, earlier I had exhausted my powers earlier during the gym battle. If I overuse my powers then I feel extremely weak. I also didn't wanted to use my powers in front of people." Sabrina words Itsuki little relieved. Sabrina then entered the police car and left.

.

"She is wired." Itsuki didn't bother to think about Sabrina anymore. Itsuki now wanted to do some shopping.

"But before that I want have to buy a bicycle. I don't want use my dragonair as a carriage." Itsuki was heading towards shopping mall but then a familiar voice called him.

"Hey Itsuki!"

.

Itsuki turned back and his eyes widened when he saw a familiar figure in front of him.

"Ash Ketchum"

Ash is a skinny, slender preteen with dark black hair, slightly tan skin, and brown eyes with two distinctive lightning bolt-like markings (maybe cheeks) underneath each one. Ash have a cowlick and a narrow, triangular, and edgy tuft of hair in the middle of his forehead that comes to a point on the right side. He was wearing a baseball cup with Pokeball logo on it.

.

On right side of Ash, Brock whom Itsuki already had met before. And left side of Itsuki, there was a familiar girl.

"Misty"

Misty has short, red hair tied into a side ponytail with blue elastic rubber band. She has green eyes and fair skin. She wears a yellow tank top that reveals her midriff, red suspenders, denim shorts that stop at her thighs and red high top sneakers with yellow lining and white laces.

.

'So the original team is still there. I didn't expect to see Ash here.'

.

"Ash, brother goot to see that you have made some friends." Itsuki and Ash hugged each other. Although Ash is dumb, that didn't stop Itsuki from forging close connection with Ash. Over the years Ash, Itsuki and Gary became brothers in arms.

Itsuki was taller than Ash, Ash height was same was Sabrina and Misty. Ash was also very happy to see Itsuki doing well.

.

"Hey brock. Man I didn't expect you would travel with Ash but please look after him." Itsuki shook hands with Brock. Itsuki then turned to Misty, Itsuki bowed his head while introducing himself

"Hello! My name is Itsuki Kagami. I am also from pallet town." Misty smiled and also bowed after introducing herself.

"I am Misty, I am currently traveling with Ash in his journey." Itsuki nodded.

.

Itsuki turned to Ash and asked. "So Ash what you are doing at Saffron city? I mean are you here to challenge the Saffron city gym leader or what?"

Ash smiled and rubbed his nose. "Yes, I came here to challenge the Saffron city gym leader. I already have gotten my 5th badge and this will be my 6th badge. I also got 3 royal Pokemon and captured some strong pokemon." Itsuki looked at surprised.

.

'I didn't expect Ash to get his 5th badge this fast. I have to train harder, I don't want to lose to Ash.' Itsuki thought in his mind. Before Itsuki had a mindset of competing with Ash but after all that he went through since starting his journey Itsuki believes he is always one step ahead of Ash. Itsuki's scope has widened, now Itsuki is not competing with Ash rather he is going to stay ahead of him. The only person whom Itsuki thinks can rival him is Cynthia. Itsuki's words might sound little arrogant but he confident to back up his words with his action.

.

"So, Itsuki recently I just caught a charmander and now I have all three royal pokemons." Ash looked at Itsuki and said in provoking tone.

"Do you want to compete and find out who is stronger? Or we can just sit and chat if you are afraid." Itsuki raised his eyebrow and looked little surprised. 'Ash my friend I think you have become little arrogant. But Why?' Itsuki looked at Brock and Misty for a moment and looked at Ash.

.

"Let's rent a battle ground." In this world every city has Battle ground for trainers to compete among each other. Trainers are allowed to us training ground, trainers are charged a certain amount of money per battle and how long trainer is going to use the battle ground. Usually the loser has to pay the renting fee. In a big city like Saffron city it was not difficult to find battle ground.

.

So after doing all the renting stuff, Itsuki and Ash was finally standing facing opposite to each other. "You know Itsuki, I and Gary were very mad when Professor Oak gave Zeraora a mythical pokemon to you. Gary is in fact even more angry than me. But Professor Oak told us that Zeraora's potential is limited and her level won't exceed level 35. Unlike other pokemon, mythical pokemon like Zeraora cannot evolve so her potential is limited." In fact as of speaking now, Ash was feeling very jealous.

.

Itsuki was no body rather Ash and Gary has closer connection to Professor Oak. Ash is jealous the fact that Oak gave Itsuki Zeraora, a mythical pokemon as his starting pokemon and Oak didn't even mention Zeraora to Gary and Ash which made both Ash and Gary very angry. Gary and Ash was Oak's grandsons and they were supposed to get Zeraora, that's the privilege they were suppose to receive for being the grandson of world famous researcher.

.

Ash and Gary even has argued with Oak. Ever since Ash and Gary saw Zeraora both had fallen in love with it. Both of them dreamed of having Zeraora as their starting pokemon. Both Ash and Gary didn't mind having a limited potential pokemon if that pokemon was Mythical pokemon. Gary and Ash thought no matter how much time Itsuki spends with Zeraora, in the end Zeraora will end up with them.

.

Hearing Ash's words and seeing the mocking look on his face, how can Itsuki not understand that Ash is jealous of him. Truth to be told even Itsuki is not sure why Oak gave Zeraora to him. Itsuki almost didn't held any hope of getting Zeraora until one day Oak came to him and told him to take Zeraora with him.

.

"How about we use our starting pokemon to fight and determine who is stronger?" Seeing that Ash is not showing respect to Itsuki and even talking to him as if looking down on Itsuki, Itsuki also stopped giving respect and being polite to Ash. Itsuki still maintained his carefree attitude.
