I have no idea what you just said, KazuyaSato. (I don't know any Shigeru, unless that's the Japanese counterpart of Gary)
Cutsora City? Entique Badge? (never heard of them) Assume that Ash had just beaten either Blaine at Cinnibar Island or Koga at Fuschia City. Wouldn't have Ash gone there next???
...
Anyways, I agree with Elite Trainer Raven. There's bound to be more than 8 gyms in the Kanto Region. Assuming that it took a "year" to get all eight badges, I'd assume that Kanto would be a big place like all the other regions. According to Red, Blue, Yellow, and now FireRed and LeafGreen, the Fighting Dojo next to Sabrina's Gym was a gym at one point. (However, it seems that there's a limit to eight gyms as the Fighting Dojo lost its status...) I can only assume that the badges that Ash got were the tougher, possibly the more popular ones. I can't back it up since Ash had absolutely no clue of where he should have gone. Luckly, Misty and Brock tagged along.

When did that talk happen?
