-----------------------

Whether Cynthia had truly fallen in love before this or not, Professor Carolina was determined to trick Cynthia into falling right into it.

"Just look at how worked up you get whenever Julian is mentioned!"

Cynthia remembered the accidental fall she and Julian had at Professor Rowan’s laboratory...

She hurriedly shook her head.

Have I really fallen in love with Julian?

Seeing Cynthia’s reaction, Professor Carolina knew her scheme had succeeded.

"Alright. This is a matter between you young people. As an old woman, I shouldn’t interfere too much. Decide for yourself."

After dinner, Cynthia returned to her room and casually threw Cassia’s phone to the side.

So annoying!

That hateful Julian still had not called her.

She flopped onto the soft bed and glanced at the phone from time to time.

But the phone simply would not ring.

After tossing and turning on the bed, Cynthia irritably threw her pillow away.

Sitting up, Cynthia took out her own phone and called Cassia’s number.

The familiar ringtone sounded.

The phone was not broken.

Then where was Julian’s call?

Cynthia gritted her teeth.

What exactly was that guy doing today?

At some point, half-asleep and half-awake, Cynthia did not know when she finally fell asleep.

When she woke up, the sky outside was already bright.

Cynthia picked up the phone and looked.

It was already nine o’clock.

She went out to the living room, ate a simple breakfast, then carefully checked which phone was which before calling Julian from Cynthia’s number.

The phone rang for a long time.

No one answered.

Cynthia took a deep breath.

Don’t get angry...

Don’t get angry

...

In truth, Julian really could not be blamed.

After testing the second version of Rage Fist yesterday, Julian had not expected Professor Rowan to suddenly bring out a third version for Primeape to try.

Julian had not kept his phone with him. He truly had not ignored the call on purpose.

After completing one round of training, Julian came back to drink water and only then discovered that Cynthia had called him.

Julian smiled slightly.

She was anxious.

Cynthia was anxious!

Call her back?

Impossible.

He would wait for Cynthia to call again.

This wait lasted until lunchtime.

After Cynthia called and no one answered, she had gone to train her Pokémon.

When she returned at noon and saw that Julian had not called back, she was furious.

She called him directly.

This time, someone finally answered.

"Cynthia, did something happen?"

Cynthia questioned him angrily.

"When I called you this morning, what were you doing?"

Julian asked doubtfully, "You called me this morning? I was testing the third version of Rage Fist with Professor Rowan and didn’t have my phone with me."

"If this call hadn’t happened to come during lunch, I might not have answered this one either."

Watching Julian lie through his teeth, Professor Rowan smiled knowingly and did not expose him.

He simply felt that Julian and Cynthia were probably close to good news.

Cynthia laughed from anger.

"Fine. I won’t argue with you about not answering my call for now. You asked me to help persuade Cassia."

"As soon as I came back, I rushed off to find Cassia. She agreed to make time to meet you."

"And you? What were you doing!? Why didn’t you call yesterday? Cassia is very angry now!"

"Tell me. What have you been doing?"

Julian hurriedly explained, "Sorry, sorry. Primeape’s training was progressing very well, and I felt that some of the techniques in Rage Fist could be broken down and integrated into my own boxing."

"I got a little too absorbed and nearly forgot the important matter. Please help me explain to Cassia. I really didn’t do it on purpose."

"I’ve just been too busy. You know this too. Rage Fist concerns Primeape’s life. Once Primeape’s situation stabilises, I’ll arrange it immediately!"

Who knew that at this moment, Professor Rowan, who had been silently eating, would suddenly speak?

"Julian, since you’re this busy, why don’t you go back first? With these three versions of Rage Fist, your Primeape’s training should be fine."

"Leave the rest to me. Once I collect enough data, I’ll definitely tailor a set of Rage Fist methods for your Primeape!"

Professor Rowan smiled slightly.

With this assist, Professor Carolina would not come looking for trouble with him again.

The corner of Julian’s mouth twitched.

Although he did not have Professor Rowan’s ability, by combining these versions of Rage Fist, he was confident he could slowly refine the most suitable Rage Fist for Primeape.

Professor Rowan even said earnestly, "Training Pokémon is important, but major life events are important too."

"Don’t wait until you’ve lost something before regretting it."

Julian: "..."

"Alright then. Cynthia, I’ll call Cassia in a while, then return to Veilstone City and prepare the date location."

"As for every flavour of ice cream, I’ll start making them as soon as I return. I guarantee I’ll let you eat until you’re satisfied. I’ll have to trouble you, Cynthia, to help me persuade Cassia."

Cynthia smiled slightly.

"That’s more like it. I’ll go find Cassia now and put in a good word for you. Prepare my ice cream as soon as possible."

Professor Rowan shook his head.

He did not understand what these two young people were playing at.

Have I really grown old?

Finally, Cynthia said, "Call Cassia in one hour."

Julian nodded.

"I’ll leave it to you. I promise I’ll use everything I have and make every ice cream flavour!"

Cynthia’s eyes lit up.

So many ice cream flavours.

That was practically heaven on earth.

Since Julian knew Cassia was Cynthia, he was not nervous at all about the apology call an hour later.

Because just now, he had already used Cynthia’s fatal weakness, ice cream, to coax her back into a good mood.

Primeape’s problem was indeed mostly resolved. The rest would be slow, steady work.

It was time to go home.

He had been away for so long. He wondered how Veilstone Gym was doing now.

With Kai there, Julian was not worried that the Gym had no Gym Leader to accept challenges.

Single-minded Kai perfectly countered Darius, that unreliable old man.

After lunch, Julian filled the refrigerator with pastries and snacks he had made.

"Professor, then I’ll take my leave first."

"The food in the fridge can be used in emergencies when you’re hungry, but it’s best not to treat it as meals. Eat properly three times a day. Take care of your health."

Researchers, once they started experiments, easily forgot to eat and sleep.

"I know. Go back."

Professor Rowan took out a portable instrument and smiled.

"If Primeape evolves, remember to help me record it with this instrument."

"Alright."

After leaving, Julian called Cassia.

"Cassia, I... I’m sorry."

Cassia’s gentle voice came through the phone.

"It’s fine. When I’m busy with work, I sometimes miss your calls too. You’re a Gym Trainer. Training Pokémon should come first."

So understanding

Cassia smiled slightly.

"But since you apologised, you should prepare an apology gift for me. I heard from Cynthia that you prepared a kind of flower ice cream for me."

"Cynthia said it was delicious. Since it was ice cream prepared for me, shouldn’t I be the one to taste it?"

Her tone was light, but Julian somehow felt sweat gathering on his back.

If he had not known that Cassia was Cynthia, he really might not have been able to withstand this.

"Understood. As soon as I get back, I’ll make it immediately and send it to the History Research Institute by cold chain delivery!"

Cynthia brought up the matter again.

Even though they were clearly both herself, she somehow felt a little sour.

What is this supposed to be?

Cynthia felt strange.
