Chapter 172 - 172: Kadabra
The young man who had previously tried to speak poorly of Sabrina, although somewhat relieved at not being punished, would probably have fainted from fear if he had known that Sabrina was standing right beside him at that moment.
In fact, Sabrina had intended to punish the insolent young man, and if it hadn't been for Umbra's intervention, she definitely would have shown him what it feels like to be turned into a doll.
Although she refrained for now, Sabrina didn't forget the young man's face. Women tend to hold grudges.

Cain assumed that the young man named Azure standing before him was the same person the others were mentioning. This blue-haired young man, dressed in a jacket of the same color, was the one blocking his way.
Reflecting on the League's annual tournaments, Cain remembered that very few trainers managed to earn the Saffron City gym badge, as it wasn't an easy feat. It's likely that those who did earn the Saffron City badge did so in Sabrina's absence, achieving a stroke of luck.
In fact, most trainers preparing for the Pokémon League competition tended to skip the Saffron City Gym.
"If you want to enter, you must defeat me first," said Azure, looking calmly at Cain.
He, too, sensed the faint psychic energy emanating from Cain. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to speak to him.
"Let's do this," replied Cain, looking at the Kadabra beside Azure.
