Nice. I'd like that as well, but only if I teach music.
Well, as of right now, his current Pokemon in his roster doesn't have a mega Evolution, so there's no point in giving him a Mega Ring, a Key Stone, and a Mega Stone this early. But yeah, if they really don't give him those things before the league, I'll be seriously pissed off. I mean come on! He has a freakin' Charizard and a Sceptile back in Oak's lab. And one of which was used during the Sinnoh League. I'd probably give up watching the anime until then.
Actually, when I read round 259, I read them from right to left. I was so used to reading the Japanese way that I got completely confused about the manga, and I was like, "Wait, what?!"
Yup, so far so good. I'm keeping an eye on it though.
Well don't misunderstand me though Lol. I'm not actually shipping Ikari as a keep-away. I just like their personality contrasting with each other. As for Cavalier, I really haven't watched the eps where Shigeru appears.
