This girl had flowing blonde hair…
Such a familiar figure, whether it was this outline or this hairstyle. Although still young, she exuded a "heroic" aura. Even when he saw Lorelei in Mahogany Town, she did not display such a presence. It gave people an invisible pressure.
'Cynthia…'
A na that once made all criminals tremble in fear!
Her Family was one of the foremost great Families in the Sinnoh region, holding shares in major companies. Moreover, there was Cynthia, this genius girl. From the day Cynthia ascended to the position of Champion, until his own rebirth, she remained the Champion of Sinnoh.
The Champion position had stood firm in the Sinnoh region for decades without falling!
Her power gave people a completely unfathomable feeling, like a Legendarylike existence.
'…Isn't this the Elite Four Challenge?'
Cynthia was not the student of any Elite Four, so how could she appear here?
If Cynthia were to participate, it would be absolutely impossible for him to win. Thinking of this, Tetsuya could not help but step forward to inquire.
"Mmm… miss, have you made your decision?" The boss of the Moomoo Tea Shop was clearly a bit impatient. Cynthia had severe indecisiveness. When facing these Moomoo Tea options, she had no idea what to do.
Such a small matter could actually leave such a great Champion at a loss…
It was hard to imagine how she would behave when facing ice cream!
"But I like all of these Moomoo Tea flavors… It's really hard to choose!" Cynthia said with an innocent expression.
"In the cold winter, a cup of hot Grey Moomoo Tea is very suitable." At this mont, Tetsuya walked over and revealed a long-lost smile to Cynthia.
Cynthia turned around and glanced at Tetsuya, then said, "Hmm, is this your choice? What do you think I should drink, Rose, Blueberry, Grey… I like all of these!"
"Boss, two cups of Grey Moomoo Tea, and I'll treat this… lady, to one." Tetsuya directly said to the boss of the Moomoo Tea Shop, and had already paid.
"This..." Cynthia hesitated a little.
At this mont, Tetsuya handed the Moomoo Tea to Cynthia and said, "Like this, there is no need to choose."
Cynthia smiled slightly. "Oh~ What you said makes sense… May I ask your na?"
"Tetsuya, and you?"
"My na is Cynthia. I am happy about today's encounter~"
"Hmm, Cynthia… the 'golden girl' who has shaken the Sinnoh region!? Are you also here at Mt. Silver to participate in the Elite Four Challenge?" Tetsuya asked tentatively.
Cynthia shook her head and said, "If I participated, it would be too unfair to them. I am only accompanying a friend to participate. Her personality is too, ahem… introverted."
Tetsuya nodded. At this age, there was probably no second person besides Cynthia who could say such domineering words. Which of these Elite Four students was not outstanding? Yet in Cynthia's words, they were rely people whom it would be "unfair to" if she participated.
"Oh? A friend?"
Tetsuya could not imdiately think of who Cynthia's friend could be, soone worth her accompanying all the way from Sinnoh.
"Cynthia~"
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a clear voice ca over. Accompanied by two bodyguards, a girl of seven or eight years old appeared, dressed in pure white clothes. Her light yellow hair was slightly curled, and her face was so delicate that it seed fragile at the slightest touch.
Such an appearance made even Tetsuya click his tongue in amazent. Although young, she gave people a feeling of being detached from the world.
"Hmm? Pardon?" Cynthia asked Tetsuya, who was montarily lost in thought.
"N-no, it's nothing. Is this your friend?" Tetsuya ca back to his senses and asked.
Caitlin, it should be correct. In his mory, he only rembered that she served as a Psychic-type Elite Four in Unova. How could she be the student of a Sinnoh region Elite Four?
"Yes, this is my friend Caitlin! She is the daughter of the Psychic Elite Four of our Sinnoh. She was born with Psychic abilities and is very skilled at using Psychic-types."
After Cynthia's introduction, he only then had a bit of an impression. Caitlin had been friends with Cynthia since childhood. However, she had never been a match for Cynthia. In order to undergo more rigorous training, she went to the Unova region, and later, through her own efforts, beca an Elite Four.
Like Sabrina of Kanto, she was a Trainer who possessed Psychic powers herself. When using Psychic-type Pokémon, it naturally ca easily to her. However, such exceptionally gifted people were not sothing others could simply envy.
Tetsuya gave a soft acknowledgnt.
"Alright, I should be leaving now… Caitlin never speaks with strangers. Thank you for the Moomoo Tea~ We will et again!"
After Cynthia finished speaking, she left and walked toward Caitlin…
---◓---
Tetsuya continued strolling in the market. Before he knew it, it was almost noon. Just as he was about to leave the market, a small shop in the corner had put up a loud sign.
'Held items… buy one get one free?'
Such an advertisent was absolutely tempting. Soon many people gathered around, but after looking at the list of items, many were extrely disappointed.
Basically, when buying practical held items such as Charcoal and Mystic Water, the free item given was indeed a small censer.
The small censer could also be considered a held item, and it was the lowest grade. After a Pokémon held it, various Incense could be burned inside the censer, which could also slightly improve a Pokémon's ability. For example, Odd Incense could increase the power of Psychic-type moves, Wave Incense could increase the power of Water-type moves, and Rose Incense could increase the power of Grass-type moves.
This small censer was already troubleso to carry, and the Incense still had to be purchased separately. Even if used, the effect was not very obvious. As long as the opponent used airflow-type moves, these Incense would naturally be blown away and would not have any effect at all.
'No wonder these people were disappointed…'
The last item at the bottom caught Tetsuya's attention.
'…Buy Bright Powder and get tal Powder or Quick Powder.'
The practical value of Bright Powder was still quite high. It was a kind of sparkling powder. After being held, its light would "confuse" the opponent, making their moves less likely to hit.
However, not all Pokémon could use this kind of powder. "Physical-bodied" Pokémon could not use it. This powder needed to be evenly spread over the body, emitting light to confuse the opponent.
Pokémon with "physical" bodies often had fur, and the powder would stick to the fur. The fur would fall off, resulting in a large amount of Bright Powder being wasted. Especially Pokémon like Piloswine, which had fur all over its body, simply could not use it.
Moreover, having such a substance stuck on the body would definitely be uncomfortable. After all, it was a living body of flesh and blood, and having sothing suddenly stick to it would naturally cause rejection.
Therefore, there were very few Pokémon suitable for this held item, but he just happened to have one, and it was a perfect match…
