Heavenly Frost Fist

After losing to Bai Shi, Ishimaru felt inspired and decided to leave Twinleaf Town for a while to see the wider world.

Bai Shi naturally supported Ishimaru's decision.

With his current strength, Ishimaru could protect himself in the wilderness.

As long as he played it safe, he probably wouldn't run into any danger.

Besides, Ishimaru had a phone and could contact him at any time.

Bai Shi wasn't particularly worried that he would disappear for good like some of the other orphans.

"Bai Shi, I want to visit Kanto. Do you think that's a good idea?"

As a devoted fan of Bruno, Ishimaru had always dreamed of making a "pilgrimage" to Kanto.

Still, he hadn't let that desire cloud his judgment.

He knew to ask Bai Shi for advice before setting off.

He hoped Bai Shi could point him in the right direction.

"Hmm... Flights to Kanto aren't cheap. Have you saved up enough money?"

"I suggest you travel around the Sinnoh Region first."

"You can earn money through part-time jobs while gaining travel experience."

"Once you've built up enough funds, you can think about visiting other regions."

"The first town I visited, for instance, was nearby Sandgem Town."

Bai Shi rested his chin on his hand and considered the matter for a moment before offering his advice.

"Sandgem Town? Then I'll go there first!"

Taking Bai Shi's advice, Ishimaru abandoned his original plan.

He made Sandgem Town his first destination instead.

With his goal decided, Ishimaru wasted no time preparing.

Following Bai Shi's suggestions, he bought a large stock of supplies.

Once everything was ready, he left without looking back.

"Bai Shi, let's battle again when I get back!"

Before leaving, Ishimaru issued Bai Shi a "challenge."

Their battle had made him fully aware of the gap between them.
