Chapter 167 - Talking with elite four member Drasna [II]

"I have seen how corrupted the Association had become. Surely Lady Drasna must have heard about Giovanni's betrayal and him being the leader of team rocket." Drasna nodded her head with a smile.

Before the Drasna asked anything else, the waitress came with the foods that Lady Drasna and Itsuki had ordered. "Here is your, please enjoy."

.

"Itsuki, I heard that you're going to participate in the upcoming Kalos League right?" Drasna asked while taking a bite of her sandwich.

"Yes, I am preparing to participate in the Kalos League."

"Actually, I was thinking about doing something new and exciting." Itsuki waited for Drasna to explain everything in detail.

"The main purpose of a League is to encourage normal people to become trainers and attract them with various rewards. But after the war was over, the League became an international fighting competition."

.

"No have no idea how much the people of the Kalos region love you for representing the Kalos region and managing to reach the Indigo League final. Millions of people in the Kalos region want to see you fight. So I talked with the other three members and they also liked this idea. This year, instead of going to various gyms, I want your gym matches to be held in front of the public. You will be fighting one gym leader each month in various stadiums. Since there are 8 months left before the Kalos League starts, each month you can fight one gym leader."

.

Itsuki didn't reply to Drasna's words immediately. Itsuki instead began to think about advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing Itsuki thinking so deeply, Drasna smiled and left Itsuki to take his time. Itsuki thinking this deeply showed that Itsuki was seriously considering her idea which made Drasna happy.

After about 5 minutes of careful thinking, Itsuki decided to reject Drasna's offer.

.

"Lady Drasna, I would have to apologize. While it's true that fighting my gym matches in front of an audience will bring me lots of benefits, I can't accept this offer due to various serious reasons." Drasna looked a little disappointed.

"Yes, fighting in front of an audience will increase my popularity even higher. But that will come with a cost. Fighting in front of audience means, my future opponents will already know about my trump cards. My opponents will already know about my Pokemon's weaknesses and strengths and prepare accordingly before the battle. I don't want to lose this League."

.

Drasna could see how serious Itsuki looked about winning the Kalos Championship.

Sigh!

"It seems I was too impulsive. I should have taken the disadvantages into consideration. I apologize."

"There is no need for Lady Drasna to apologize. In fact, I also find Lady Drasna's find very tempting but unfortunately, it all comes down to winning the Championship League. Today or tomorrow, the people will forget about my performance in the Indigo League and will only remember the winner of that year's League. I want to curve my name and win the Championship League of my nation."

.

Drasna nodded her head with a satisfied look. Drasna was sure that this year's Kalos League will be more exciting than any Championship League.

Itsuki for a moment showed a hesitant look as if thinking whether he should really ask this question or not. "By the way, Lady Drasna can I ask you about something?"

"What is it?" Drasna asked while continuing to eat her sandwich.

.

"Do you know why mega stones are not that popular out of the Kalos region?" Itsuki didn't have much time to research that topic. Now that he was meeting with one of the Kalos region's elite four-member, Itsuki felt it was just better to ask Drasna.

"We're not that sure. The usage of mega stone only became popular about 5 years ago when Diantha used mega stone to evolve her Pokemon and win the Kalos League. We have been constantly researching mega stones for 5 years now. So far, only a few mega stones have been discovered. The number of people who possess mega stone is less than 25."

.

"You can understand from this number how rare a mega stone is. Mega stone is not something that we can just mine like normal metals. Mega stones are mostly found in the wild or in rocky areas. Currently, we're researching a technology that can detect the energy signature radiated from a mega stone. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to locate mega stones by detecting the energy signature. But that process will at least take another 2 to 4 years."

.

"Lady Drasna, do you think it would be possible for me to acquire a keystone." The Key Stone is a key item that is used along with a Pokémon holding their respective Mega Stone in order to Mega Evolve. They are typically embedded in a personal accessory worn by the Trainers.

'I can just ask the system to build something that can detect mega stones but I will need to have the keystones.' Itsuki had a feeling that in eight months, he was going to face trainers whose Pokemon has mega stones.

.

"I am sorry Itsuki but I don't think the Kalos Association has any extra keystone on our hands. But I heard that 15 days from now on, there will be an auction held in Santalune City."

Itsuki's eyes shined brightly.

As if understanding what Itsuki was expecting, Drasna nodded her head. "Yes, I heard a keystone is going to be auctioned. But there is one problem. In order to attend the auction, you must be invited by the auction host."

.

Itsuki for some reason felt a chill running down his spine seeing Drasna's mysterious and creepy smile. Itsuki felt Drasna was plotting something against him. "You see the family that runs that auction house is not under the Kalos Association's control. The auction house has to pay 5 percent tax on every item that they sell. Using my connections I can get you a invitation card if only you agree to attend the auction with someone else."

"Okay" Itsuki had no problem attending the auction with another person. Isaac was probably going to leave the auction after buying the key stone.

.

"This concludes our meeting then. It was nice talking with you Itsuki. I can't wait to see what magic you will show the whole world in the upcoming Kalos League. If you even need anything, just be sure to contact me, I will try my best to help you." After that Itsuki exchanged contacts with Drasna. Drasna also had bought one of limited edition of [A1]. After that, Drasna with her butler Robert took their leave after paying the bill. Even though Itsuki wanted to pay the bill, Drasna insisted and didn't let Itsuki take out his wallet.

.

This meeting has given Itsuki information about many things. Itsuki now can focus on his training without having to worry about any hostile reaction from the Kalos region elite four.

The presence of Drasna, confirmed that non of the elite four was dissatisfied with Itsuki. Itsuki won't have to worry about Kalos Assosiation. Since Drasna has personally came to meet Itsuki, team Flare was not going to approach Itsuki for the time being. Drasna personally coming here to meet Itsuki, showed that she cared about Itsuki. With this single meeting, Itsuki now had gained political hold on Kalos region.

.

After Drasna left, Itsuki silently continued to drink his tea while thinking about his future actions. 'Now that, I am done with my [A1] project and also have managed to gain a strong political support in Kanto, I can finally focus on my training. But before starting my training, I will have to create my weapon first.'

In these two weeks, the system has managed to came up with the perfect ratio. Now Itsuki knew at what ratio he would able to combine two of the most strongest metal on this planet. Itsuki can't wait to see how strong a weapon made from two strongest metals adamantium and Vibranium on this planet will be.

.

After finishing his drink, Itsuki left the cafe and directly went to his company. Now that millions of peoples were buying his [A1], the Azure industry now had billions of profits in their hands.

Now Itsuki had the fund to shift his company to other projects.

"Itsuki, what do you want to do with all these money?" Amaterasu asked. Currently Itsuki and Amaterasu was having a meeting in the company.

.

"We already have made 4 billion P$ profit in just first day. I am sure this number will continue to grow and eventually surpass the ten billion mark soon. Big investing companies at practically knocking at our doors to invest in the company." Sitting opposite to Amaterasu, Itsuki looked at the TV.

"Amaterasu, from the beginning, I never wanted the company to go public. Maybe in future, we might go public but now there is no need for that."
