"My head!, " Kota held his head and screamed in pain. He was currently in the bedroom of the inn.
"I am never standing near Blast Burn move, " Said Kota, he slowly got up and walked out of the bedroom.
As he walked in the corridor, he heard the sound of Misty laughing with togepi.
"Kota, you're up, " Blaine looked at Kota and smiled. He too suffered from some pain after the match.
"How's the pain? Does it still hurt?, " Asked Brock while putting some cookies on the table.
"It's fine, " Kota took a couch to sit on and grab some cookies from the table.
"Where's Ash?, " Kota looked around but didn't find Ash in the living room.
"He is out with Charizard to train, " Misty answered as she fed some very small pieces of the cookies to Togepi.
"I thought Charizard doesn't listen to Ash's orders?, " Kota still remembers the plot in the anime where Charizard starts to listen to Ash.
But shouldn't it happen later and not now. He didn't remember this part in the anime where Ash trained with Charizard.
"That's after they saw how strong your Charizard is and Ash really wants to defeat you, " Brock said while sitting next to Misty and biting a cookie in half.
"He wants to defeat me? That's not gonna happen with how he is right now, " Said Kota, he laughed and got up from the couch.
Brock and Misty didn't know Kota said it, but they were a little angry because Ash was their friend.
"You shouldn't say that! Ash will defeat you! Just you wait!, " Misty voiced, making Kota stop halfway before the corridor.
Blaine stayed quiet and just watched the drama together with Brock while eating cookies.
"Will see that, " Kota didn't say anymore and went back into his room to start packing his belongings.

After telling Ash and the group that he is leaving, Kota heads towards the port.
He had booked a ticket to a very famous luxurious cruise ship for traveling towards his next destination.
Which is also not shown in the anime, that place is called the Normal Fortress.
The speciality about that place is that all the pokemons found there are very normal.
Not a single rare pokemon is discovered in the Normal Fortress.
It will take a week to reach Normal Fortress, where the Normal Fortress City is located.
So, it could be said that Kota will be on a one week vacation until the next stop.
Reaching the port, Kota came to the cruise ship and showed his ticket to board the ship.
Coming inside his room, Kota really liked it. It was very luxurious with many golden pieces of furniture.
Then he came out in the open, the air was fresh and the wind blowing was cool.
"I could never enjoy this in my past life, " Muttered Kota while sighing in some old regret but soon a smile bloomed on his face.
Why should he care about his past life any more? Isn't he given a second chance for this?
Below on the deck of the cruise ship, people were taking pictures with the blue sea.
"Hey! We met again!, " Suddenly, Kota heard a familiar voice from behind him.
Turning his face to see the person, Kota realized that he knew her.
'Mera, was it again?, ' Thought Kota while smiling at Mera and looking back at the deck.
"Going to Normal Fortress City for the gym?, " Asked Mera while coming next to Kota and resting her hands on the railing.
"Hm, " Kota nodded his head and saw that Mera had started to vlog with her camera.
"Guys! This is the view of the deck from above! How's it? Nice, right! Also, we have a company!".
Mera turned her camera towards Kota while showing an apologetic face behind.
'Earning for a living is hard, ' Kota knew how the world really works with his past life experiences.
"Hey! That company should be me right?, " Kota waved his hand at the camera and showed a kind smile.
"Yes! Guys, if you want more of the famous rookie trainer Kota then please follow me and like my vlogs!".
Ending the part of the vlog, Mera seemed to have felt much better now.
"How much do you normally earn with these vlogs you upload?, " Asked Kota while facing Mera with a curious expression.
"Per vlog can earn me about ten to thirty thousands while monthly I upload almost seven vlogs, " Answered Mera honestly to Kota's curious question.
"That's quite a lot, " Kota was impressed, that is a pretty huge amount of money with just a single vlog.
"By the way, are you here to vlog on the cruise ship again like before?, " Said Kota as he leaned on the railing and looked at Mera.
"Nope, I am actually going to do a movie in Normal Fortress City. The vlogs are just to waste some free time in the cruise ship, " Replied Mera, making Kota surprised very much.
"You are an actress?, " To gain these achievements at such a young age, Kota had a deep impression of Mera.
"No, it's my first time in a movie. I am just going to be the younger sister of the hero, " Mera told some secrets which weren't supposed to be shared to anyone.
"Oh, " Kota nodded his head and didn't ask more questions related to the movie.
"Mera! Finally found you! Where have you even roaming?, " A voice called out Mera from the door, making both Kota and Mera turn.
A fat man wearing white coat and white pants came forward with a cane and hat.
"Wait! Aren't you the famous rookie pokemon trainer that was on news?, " The fat man seemed to notice and identify Kota immediately.
"That guy is definitely not me, " Replied Kota while trying to retreat from the incoming fat man.
But there was nowhere to run, because there was only one door. And to get there, he had to pass through the fat man.
