Next morning,
Itsuki did some basic exercises in his room with Zeraora. After taking a bath, Itsuki walked out of the bathroom while wrapping a towel around his waist. Zeraora took a look at Itsuki's upper naked body and then stopped herself from looking at her master. She instead closed her eyes and began to meditate which helped in calming her mind and heart.
.
Knock! Knock!
"Who is it?" Itsuki was in the middle of drying his hair when someone knocked at his door.
"It's me." Even without hearing the voice, Itsuki knew it was Brock since he could sense his Aura behind the door.
Click!
As soon as the door was opened, Brock's eyes were drawn to Itsuki's 6-pack abs and his muscles. Itsuki's body looked like the body of a warrior. Each and every muscle of his body was filled with power.
.
Itsuki pretended to not see Brock staring at his abs and muscles. Any man would proudly flex their muscles and abs and Itsuki was no different. After one month of harsh training, Itsuki's muscles had further developed. It was almost as if Itsuki's muscles has been curved by God himself.
"What is it?" Brock snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Itsuki.
"Man, I feel so jealous. Itsuki, do you think I should start working out?"
.
Compared to Brock who was skinny and tall, Itsuki's body was well built. "I think every man should work out. Working out has countless benefits. One of those benefits is you can attract girls towards you. You might even find a girlfriend."
"Then from tomorrow, I will also start working out." To Brock, his biggest motivation was getting a girlfriend. He would do whatever it takes to find a girl for himself.
.
"By the way, are you going out?" Itsuki asked while looking at Brock's outfit. Today, Brock was wearing a red shirt and black knee-length pants, and sunglass. Something about today's Brock was different. It was as if Brock was shining very brightly. Just looking at his face, Itsuki could guess Brock was going to meet a girl or something that has to do with a girl.
"Yes, Yesterday I met this girl. Like an angel, she purified my heart and captured my heart even before I knew it. Today I am going to meet her again. This vacation might be the end of my single status." Itsuki tried his best to not roll his eyes hearing those cringe and stupid words.
.
"Good Luck. I genuinely hope that you find someone who will love you and be with you forever." Brock nodded his head and then left.
Watching Brock's back as he walked through the corridor, Itsuki wondered what kind of girl made Brock smile this brightly.
"Love huh....." When Itsuki thought of this word, somehow the images of Serena, Cynthia, Sabrina, and Luna appeared to overlap with each other in his mind.
.
Shaking his head, Itsuki closed the door and went to dry his hair. Itsuki preferred not to think about his romantic life right now. Whenever he thought about his romantic life, Itsuki's thoughts tangle with each other and things easily get complicated.
'Among the four girls, Serena and Sabrina have feelings for me. While Serena is too shy to show her feeling in public or in front of others. Sabrina is okay with showing affection in front of others.' Itsuki is not sure about Cynthia and Luna. But as far as he could tell, both girls don't seem to have any feelings for him. Or that's what Itsuki thinks based on how Cynthia and Luna act around him.
.
After Itsuki finished changing his clothes, another person knocked at his door. Itsuki recalled Zeraoa in her Pokeball since Itsuki was expecting this person to come.
Click!
"Come in Sabrina" Itsuki could have asked Mewtwo to erase Sabrina's memories of that event. But Itsuki felt Sabrina deserved to know the truth after the suffering she had experienced to stop Mewtwo.
.
Walking into his room, Sabrina curiously looked around and then sat on his bed. Itsuki followed Sabrina and sat next to her. Itsuki noticed that Sabrina's hair was a little wet meaning that she had just finished taking a shower.
For a moment Itsuki didn't know from where he should start and how much he should tell her.
Sabrina looked at Itsuki as if asking him when he was to start talking. Noticing Sabria's gaze on him, "Do you want to get breakfast before I start talking?"
.
"No, I want to know about you." Sabrina surprised Itsuki a little when she held his right hand and looked into his eyes. "I want to learn more about the Itsuki that you have hidden from everyone even from your parents. I also want to know what happened between you, Ash and Gary." During the Indigo League, Sabrina noticed how Ash and Gary looked at Itsuki with hatred in their eyes. The way they interacted during the battles, told Sabrina that Itsuki have known them for a long time.
Sigh!
Looking at her eyes that seem to not hide any emotions from him, Itsuki couldn't bring himself to hide the truth from her.
.
"I guess this all started right when I started my journey. Me, Ash, and Gary used to be best friends. The competitiveness between us is what turned our friendship to become bitter enemies. Both Ash and Gary couldn't stand the fact that I was always better than them. Both of them finally showed their true colors when Oak gave me Zeraora." Itsuki then explained how things went from that point. He told Sabrina about team rocket, the Pokemon black market, he and Cynthia meeting, Learning Aura from Lucario, what Oak and Ash did to him and his family, and why Itsuki changed his nationality and became a citizen of Kalos regions.
.
After 2 hours, Itsuki finally finished telling Sabrina everything that he went through on his journey to Indigo League.
"That's how things went. Fortunately, Giovanni died and the team rocket was destroyed. I genuinely hope Lance and Lorelei would use this opportunity and clean Kanto from all criminal activities. But I highly doubt that would happen. Oak controls the other two members of the elite four and almost 70 to 90 percent of Association members dance on his palm. I am sure he will interfere and try to take advantage of this situation."
.
Sabrina on the other hand felt anger, rage, and hatred towards Oak. The gentle image that she had in her of Oak now shattered.
"You should have killed Oak when you had the chance. If I were in your place, I would have killed Oak and every person from Pallet town for what they did to your parents." This was the first time Itsuki had seen Sabrina this angry. Her eyes had turned red from anger. She looked like she would go berserk at any given moment.
.
"By the way, I was thinking of letting you meet someone that I met yesterday." Itsuki hurriedly changed the topic.
"You met who?" Before Itsuki could answer, the window of his room suddenly was opened by a gust of wind. The next moment, Latias appeared in front of Sabrina who was completely shocked.
.
Latias. [Itsuki, I came to take you with me.]
"Latias, I want to bring my best friend here if you don't mind." Itsuki changed the way he called Sabrina. Now after telling his secrets, Itsuki considered Sabrina as his best and a close friend just like Cynthia. Sabrina also noticed this and felt very happy.
For a moment Itsuki became alert seeing Latias's eyes glowing in blue light. Itsuki soon relaxed as he and Sabrina began to float in the air.
.
"Latias is using her psychic powers." Sabrina nodded with a look of astonishment. The next moment everything around Itsuki and Sabrina changed. Sabrina only saw blurry images while Itsuki felt how fast they were traveling with Latias.
A few seconds later, Itsuki and Sabrina found themselves standing in a forest which surprised both of them. As they had never seen or heard of any forest in Alto Mare.
"Latias, where is this place?"
