Chapter 170 - Santalune Forest
Eid Mubarak to all my readers
------
After an unknown amount of time, Itsuki already had left without informing Clemont and Bonnie.
Clemont had just finished his battle with the robot Clembot. After Clemont won against Clembot, both Bonnie and Clemont finally noticed that Itsuki still hasn't arrived. What's more, Zeraora also seems to have disappeared. Both brother and sister looked at each other and wondered where Itsuki where.

Ring!
"Hello!"
"Itsuki, where are you? I have managed to defeat Clembot and now I will reprogram Clembot. I wanted to thank you but I couldn't find you anywhere."
"Clemont, I apologize but I had to take my sudden leave. Please say sorry to Bonnie as well. In 30 minutes, I will be leaving Lumiose city. Next time we meet, I will be challenging you as a trainer who is going to participate in the Kalos League."
.
A smile appeared on Clemont's face hearing Itsuki's words. Clemont wanted to treat Itsuki to lunch to express his gratitude but it seems he won't get the chance anytime soon.
"Sure, I will wait for you."
"Clemont when I challenge, I want to face you not your robot. I hope you can keep my words." Itsuki naturally had no interest in challenging a robot. Instead, Itsuki was more excited to challenge the person who created the robot.
"You have my word. Till we meet again, Itsuki."
.
After ending the call with Clemont, Itsuki went to get something that he had ordered a few days ago.
After paying the truck driver, Itsuki put two of the strongest metals on this planet in his inventory. Itsuki was planning on creating a weapon for himself. The last time, he faced two members of a secret organization, Itsuki realized that he needed a weapon for himself.
After getting the Adamantium and Vibranium, the world's youngest scientist went to the airport and left Lumiose City.
.
Santalune Forest is a forest in southern Kalos. Santalune Forest is located north of Aquacorde Town. Home to many Pokémon, respective of its type variations. Just upward north-east of the forest is the exit leading to Santalune City.
After landing in Aquacorde Town, Itsuki after buying some supplies went to Santalune Forest. Santalune forest is the biggest forest in the Kalos region, covering more than 121 sq km. Even though the information is not 100% accurate, some say that Santalune Forest is home to one of the legendary Pokemon of the Kalos region.
.
Xerneas is one of the legendary Pokemon. Only a few people in the world had the luck of seeing Xerneas. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life. This occurs when the horns on its head shine in seven colors. As seen in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, if it expends too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by another Legendary Pokemon of the Kalos region, Yveltal.
.
Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde are the legendary trios of the Kalos region. Zygarde is said to be the guardian of the Kalos region while Xerneas is the guardian of all the forests. While Yveltal is the complete opposite of Xerneas. While Xerneas has an immense amount of life force, Yveltal has the power to steal lifeforce.
When Yveltal reaches the end of its lifespan, it steals the life energy of everything around it and then transforms into a cocoon to sleep.
In the history of the Kalos region, Xerneas and Yveltal have fought multiple times. Whenever Yveltal has on a rampage, Xerneas would come forward to stop Yveltal.
.
"I just hope I don't run into Yevltal." Yevltal was an extremely dangerous and over-aggressive type of Pokemon. Whoever disturbs Yevltal gets petrified.
Itsuki entered the Santalune Forest and went into the deeper part of the forest even though Itsuki knew that he was going to find lots of 5th or even high order Pokemon in the deeper part of the forest. The reason why Itsuki dared to go deeper part of the forest is that he had two legendary Pokemon with him.
Articuno and Latias!
If things get out of control, Itsuki can always use Latias and Articuno to ensure their safety.
.
Timeskip- 14 days later
Eventually, Isaac found a place to camp. Isaac camped near a waterfall. First few days, some Pokemon tried to attack Itsuki and his team. But all of them were killed by Zeraora and Itsuki.
Since most of his Pokemon were already familiar with Latias as they had played together, the team very happily welcomed Latias.
.
Itsuki started his Pokemon's hardcore training. But Itsuki didn't start his training. With the help of the system, after more than hundreds of failures, Itsuki finally made a sword combining Adamantium and Vibranium.
Today was the 14th day of his staying in Santalune Forest. Since previously Itsuki and his team had stayed in the forest for a month, this time the team was able to adapt to their current lifestyle very quickly. Only Latias had problems the first few days, but after a few days, she also started training with others.
.
Today was an exciting day for Itsuki. After 13 continuous days of failure, Itsuki with the system's guidance has managed to create a perfect sword.
"Finally, it's done." Holding the 1 meters long sword which looked like a Katana, Itsuki showed a satisfied smile.
However, Itsuki's happiness didn't last long as Zeraora returned with bad information.
.
[Master I sensed another human approaching in this direction with a Pokemon that had a similar Aura as Lucario.]
"Tell Latias to turn invisible." Meanwhile, Itsuki quickly stored his sword and other things in his inventory.
.
Itsuki and his other Pokemon turned to look in the direction of the west. After 14 days of training, all of Itsuki's Pokemon have become more sensitive and now can sense other beings within a certain range.
Swoosh!
Itsuki and others looked at the two shadows. When the two shadows run out of the shade of a tree, Itsuki and his Pokemon were finally able to see their faces.
.
"We have met our 500th opponent." Korrina and her partner Lucario jumped and landed in front of Itsuki.
"Isn't she Korrina?" Itsuki asked out loud with a confused face. What Korrina is doing in this Santalune forest.
"Oh, it looks like our 500th opponent recognizes us. My name is Korrina and this is Lucario."
"____"
.
For a minute, neither party said anything. Itsuki kept staring at Korrina with a speechless look. "I think you found the wrong person." Itsuki then turned around and was about to walk away. Itsuki was still pissed. After more than hundreds of failures, Itsuki finally managed to create a perfect sword. He couldn't even celebrate when another problem appeared out of thin air.
"Hey wait."
Korrina wasn't going to let her 500th opponent leave. Korrina skated and arrived in front of Itsuki.
.
"What is it?" Itsuki asked with a tried face.
"Fight me."
"Why would I do that?"
Korrina "____"
Among her 499th opponents, no one has ever refused to fight her. Itsuki was the first person to do so.
.
"What?" For a moment Korrina couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"What would I get if I were to accept your challenge?"
Korrina and her partner Lucario looked at each other for a second. Seeing Korrina thinking deeply as if trying to decide what to offer her opponent, Itsuki took a look at her appearance. Itsuki was not attracted to her even though she was a top-class beauty and looked way more mature than the anime version.
.
Korrina is tall and slender with very long creamy blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She has gray eyes and a fair complexion. Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand, she holds the Mega Glove. She also wears white boots with red heart decals, which also function as skates.
.
From what Itsuki can remember about Korrina, Korrina is a cheerful girl, who loves to exercise on her rolling skates. Korrina and her Riolu grew up in Shalour City and shared many of their moments. They had many battles against Gurkinn, but were always defeated. She also respects her grandfather, even if she sometimes does not understand his strict principles. In the anime, Korrina was sent to defeat the 100th opponents to pass the trail.
But from her words, it looked like Korrina had defeated 499 opponents. Itsuki doesn't even want to ask how long it had taken her to defeat 499 opponents.
.
After hesitating for a moment, Korrina finally made up her mind. "If you can defeat me then I will give you a treasure map."
"What's so special about this treasure map?" Itsuki now looked a little interested.
"My grandpa found his map in his younger days. This map can take you to the ruins of an ancient civilization."
