Prelude to the Official Rank B

Prelude to the Official Rank B Cup
[Aug 1st 1202]
-Kasumi goes out to eat and overhears Oboro and Soleil having a conversation regarding various things(Living with Kamui and her servants, Jotaro's ranch getting expanded, him going to fight Griffith in the Offcial Rank B next week, and Soleil's brother getting some popularity in Ylisse thanks to Severa being gone and him along with her becoming the 2 best breeders in their generation.)
-She leaves out before she can get sighted by the 2 and head home, worried that she will fight Jotaro in the Official Rank B next week, but is prepping up for it. She also begin to think of Lucina and how she's doing..

-In Nohr, it's a festive day as Rhiannon is heading to the Shrine with her mom, Girlfriend, and uncle to receive her 1st monster, An Antlan.
-She's pretty nervous about it with her family soothing her nerves down as she prepare to get her monster.
-After the birth of her monster, she head home to her new ranch that's also Lucina and she begin to set up a 2 month schedule using what she learned in Hoshido and get down to business training her monster.
-Just in time too....as an another noble rookie, Ashley Trumpeur, have started her career and is hoping to defeat Rhiannon according to the news. Ashley's family was one of Iago's biggest sponsors and upon his arrest, lost a lot of money. Since then, Ashley blamed the Kalmtes for her family's suffering and wish to usurp them.
-Rhiannon knows of Ashley's designs, but tell Lucina not to be overly aggressive towards her and wait to see her next move. For now, they will begin training their new monsters.
-There's also the fact that both Cordelia and Severa are out there, Ylissian and Nohrian forces are working together to arrest Cordelia and search for Severa.

-Back in his motel, Griffith is very confident in his victory over Jotaro who he hears is entering the Fuijin Bowl next week....He calls his father, Xemnas, who he brags to about his assured win. Xemnas, for his part, feeds his oldest son's ego regarding the battle.
-However, Marluxia enters the room with a worried face with vids of Jotaro's battles, starting from the days with Heihachi and Kyoryu...and then to the present with Mars. Griffith listens to Marluxia's detailed reports of how more vicious and stronger the last monster was after the 1st one, ending with Mars being one of the most dreaded monster in the current Hoshidian League.
-On the outside, Griffith is very confident and egotisical about his chances of winning...on the inside, he's a sweating piece of shit who realizes that he may had bitten more than he can chew...he soon call his dad up again and ask him to fly some of the Trorons to boost Osiris's performance.

-Jotaro is sitting in his old home watching his new home and ranch being built some distance behind his home while guiding Mars through the Katas.
-Kamui watches and ask him multiple questions about Monster Ranching(Why does he do it, Does it pay well for their son, and what's up with the Katas) and then to other stuff(What's the schools here like, are the people nice, is there other stuff here to watch and do besides Monster Rancher).
-Jotaro answer them all and end the session with Mars and dismiss him for the day. He and Kamui have discussions about the new home, Jotaro putting his foot down about what they NEED, and what they could do without...Kamui understanding some of what he's saying coming from a spoiled childhood. She doesn't give up on the Pool and club room tho, so Jotaro let her have them.
