The psychic gym members could either decide to continue to stir up trouble and try to get the recording device from Kimi using force or they could let things go and leave.
Kimi did not wish to get into a battle with the Saffron City Gym so soon especially when the leader was known for being a genius psychic and psychic Pokémon trainer.
There was no way that Kimi would be able to catch up to Sabrina so soon and getting into trouble with Sabrina's underlings was just a way to look for trouble that she could not handle.
Kimi did not think that Sabrina would abuse her power in public but it was still unknown if she would have something done in the dark.
The main issue was that the league supported the actions of the Gym Leaders a lot of the time and overlooked some of their behaviours or actions so long as they carried out the duties they were supposed to uphold.
They were there to receive the challenges to hand over badges to each person who was able to prove their worth but they also served as the protectors of their own city who would be called upon in times of need.
The only way to truly shake up their power was if the league was able to find a valid replacement for them and if they had truly crossed the line in the actions they had taken.
Crossing a Gym Leader was not within the goals of Kimi and she was both willing to get too involved with the whole event but she could do the minimum to help scare off those that were causing trouble.
The people who were causing trouble did not seem like they were too high up in the Saffron City Gym so Kimi did not feel like Sabrina would care so much about them to retaliate but she could not be too careful.
The recording was something she came up with in order to avoid a public battle with them and to make them retreat.
If her plan failed then she could always upload the recording to the channel she shared with the other Jenny family members who were spread out around Kanto.
All it took was one of the more influential Jenny family members to see her post to let the higher ups become more aware of how those of the Saffron City Gym were abusing their power.
It would not affect the position of Sabrina in the end but she would receive some form of minor scolding or punishment that would result in her venting on those who put her in a difficult situation.
It was more like a last resort for Kimi so she was mainly using it as a bluff.
She kept a provocative look on her face hiding her thoughts as her Aura circulated through her body.
It moved in a way as if to protect her from invading forces even if it was an attempt from a psychic that wished to read her thoughts or emotions at that moment.
It was like a mental wall had been put up causing them to be unable to read her.
After a staring match between them, the psychic trained grit his teeth and turned his back on Kimi. "Let's get out of here."
He had come to realise that Kimi was difficult to read and deal with so it was best to retreat for the time being.
If he tried to make his use of his psychic powers in public to take something from someone or to cause harm then it would be considered as stepping into the territory of committing a crime in front of so many people.
He had already tried to subtly use his abilities to snatch the recording device hoping that Kimi was not holding it tightly but that failed when she kept ahold of it with a strong enough grip to prevent it from escaping.
He could have gotten away with breaking it against the ground or having it look like it rolled in his direction after being dropped but with how things turned out, he could not rely on his abilities to deceive others anymore unless he decided to stop using them covertly.
He could have called upon the aid of his Pokémon and the other psychics with him to retrieve it but he was well aware of the problems that would arise from doing so.
He could not make things any more worse than they already were but before leaving he turned back to Kimi with a cold gaze. "I hope you can forget this and let this go."
As he stormed off with his minions, Kimi smirked as she watched him retreat.
A sigh was let out from her as she looked at the small recording device in her hand. "So he wants me to delete this huh?"
There was a benefit in keeping the recording just in case of emergencies but it also came with difficulties.
Keeping it provided a layer of protection to keep trouble away but if the opponent did not like someone having something over them then they could take some action against Kimi.
There was always the risk that Kimi could go back on her word and send it somewhere to get him in trouble even if he retreated and it could be used to blackmail him if used correctly.
There were some that would rather take a risk to retrieve it or to get an advantage of their own over their opponent in order to solve such a problem.
If they were more reckless then they would resort to even more drastic actions.
Kimi could have deleted it and told them she did if they asked but there was no way to truly know if she had done so unless she went through everything she had to show them it no longer existed.
Even then she could have kept a copy somewhere else so it was difficult for such a person to trust that completely.
Kimi smirked as she saw them getting further away. 'No way am I getting rid of this for you.'
It was better to keep it no matter what the outcome so that she had some form of proof of the events that followed just in case they came to bother her or others again.
Getting rid of it would just make them regain their confidence and fighting spirit once again after they no longer had anything to be used against them.
Kimi was well aware of the risks involved but it was always a good idea to hold onto some cards for when they were needed.
She felt a tap on her shoulder as Mitsuwa showed a large smile on her face. "You scared them off hahaha! I thought that we might have to call the seniors here or my father to solve the problem."
Kimi rolled her eyes and sighed in response. "That would only bring further embarrassment to the Dojo since they would have said that nobody in their generation could make them move.
If the seniors took action and defeated them then they could just complain about the elders bulling the young and so on.."
Mitsuwa pouted. "Hey.. that is so shameless!"
Kimi shrugged. "It is just how these things work.. if they were sent away by our seniors then it is likely they would come back with their seniors to settle things. By then this small incident would have become much bigger."
Mitsuwa was shocked from hearing the words of Kimi. "But you made them retreat just like that! It was pretty cool!"
Kimi sighed in response. "It was nothing.. just a little bit of use of the cities laws and such."
