Cynthia tapped her fingers against her chin, looking up at the sky in thought.
"Probably not long after my last battle with you. Then this child was born."
"So I started training her right away, and well, this is what you see now."
Cynthia smiled happily. During this period, all her attention had been focused on that Roserade, so Roserade's strength had improved very quickly as well.
Of course, she still couldn't compare to Ash.

He was even higher than Cynthia after her ranking had dropped.
If he defeated Wallace in
