In Unova, unlike the other regions where there was a group discussion only three people were together to discuss.The people here were the Dragon Master Drayden with his Haxorus , the champion Alder with his Bouffalant and finally the top regional Professor Mr Juniper with his Darmantian.
They were the top decision makers of Unova and are currently discussing about the current changing scenario due to the actions of Alex.
" The current situation is not good for Unova." Drayden said
Alder joked about this matter and said," What gave you the impression. Tgd fact that only three of us are here in this high level meeting."
Drayden doesn"t like this joke and he growled at alder with his Haxorus joining his trainer and looked at the Bouffalant menacingly.
Mr Juniper and his Darmantian acted as the peacekeeper for the two and said " Now is not the time for us to foght among ourselves. We must reach a consensus about this.
Should we follow the trend or not?"
This made everyone turn silent.
" But we cannot just not act on this matter. Every region will issue a statement regarding this matter and we also have to give one or else the dark organization in the area would think we are soft pessimist. " Drayden said Strongly.
Alder who was in deep thoughts finally stated," If a trainer in this generation wants to become the Unova champion then he must reach a threshold. He must partic.i.p.ate in the defense wothin three years time and lead within the next six years.
Until then no one will be eligible to contest or challenge me for the champion position.
I think this is enough to scare some unsavory idiots in the middle path."
" I agree with this consensus. We don"t have enough genius, no no, enough abled trainer to supplement the future, we cannot gamble with them.
Years ago that monster destroyed Unova and brought us to our knees and years later, his protege teach us our inadequacy. He even took the genius t.i.tle for himself.
Only those who can scale the pillar he erected can be called a genius. Test can only good trainer or abled one. " Drayden said.
" We can only strive to raise the next generation well so Unova can rise from this position. " Juniper said.
And Unova too reached a decision about this.
And finally Kalos had also reached a similar consensus as Hoenn and Sinnoh.
" Partic.i.p.ate in the tide within an year and lead the corp before their fifteenth birthday. Then only can someone earn the qualifications for competing fir the elite four and champion position. "
And these statements were issued as soon as the decision was made.
Only johto and Kanto hadn"t issued any such orders.
Johto had plainly ignored the report about Alex and felt he was doomed by his mentor. On the other hand, they were still competing for powers among themselves.
And the shadow organization was raging on in the johto region making the skilled trainers of Johto join them forcefully if needed draining the power of johto.
The only region left who was silent was Kanto. The originator of the trend had remained quiet until now yet none of the other regions felt that it was weak due to it"s lack of order.
In the Kanto league HQ at the near the base of the Silver mountain the four elites once again meet together. Samuel too joined them in the discussion.
This time there were a couple more people in this discussion.
They were Blue Oak, Red Ketchum, Giovanni, Cerulean Gym leader Mathew Waterflower and finally Hanzo the Ninja Grandmaster of Kanto.
The four elites and Cerulean gym leader were the hard power of Kanto on the bright side.
Giovanni and Hanzo took care of matters regarding the dark side. They have joined forces to keep the underworld of Kanto calm. They have reached a deal with the top league officials on this matter.
And finally the trio from the Oak laboratory are the behemoth who are the known hidden ace of Kanto who can unilaterally destroy any opposite force.
They had their ace pokemons at their side. This wasn"t just a discussion between friends but also a show of power to prevent any undercurrents hence every one must show their strength.
Agatha had her Gengar, Blaine had Magmar by his side, Fiona had her Crobat while Roan had his Rhydon.
Giovanni had a Persian with beedrill flying behind without making a single buzzing sound and Hanzo had a Weezing and arbok at his side.
Red just had a Raichu on his shoulder, blue had an Eevee while Samuel was grooming a Growlithe. These three doesn"t need to scare anyone as their presence alone is enough deterrent.
The one who started the meeting was Agatha.
She said," Every region except Johto had issued a joint statement.
They have set a parameter for the next generation of elite four and champion. If the trainer doesn"t partic.i.p.ate in the tide and get decent achievement then he won"t have the chance for the elite four t.i.tle and then within the next five years he must also lead the tide of at least one corp fully and completely independently.
That is to say that within six years time, many strong trainers are going to develop. So now we are here to discuss how Kanto will act in this thing."
" To think our one small action could lead to such a result. A new era is created." Roan said softly but everyone heard it.
" We shouldn"t worry. We are already in the lead. So we don"t have to make a hasty decision." Hanzo said showing his calmness in this situation.
" I agree with Hanzo. We have already started to deal with Johto forces in the name of countering against the shadows for their attack few months ago.
Now we should focus on one thing at a time. We cannot act too hastily and ruin our initial plan." Giovanni supported his fellow guardian in the dark.
" I also agree with them. " That"s all Mathew had to say about this.
Since they knew the views of these members, the elite four asked the other three whom they contacted through the video call.
" What do you all think?"
" Since we have already decided why don"t you go with it. If the plan is successful then both Kanto and johto together will have a common elite four.
So we would need at least two places for johto hence some places need to be given out.
This gives us a reason for leading out the other trainers and only strong could attain the position. And there won"t be anyone who would oppose you later.
And these two brats agree which my idea too." Samuel said and the other two nodded.
After he said that the three who opposed directly changed their views and also agreed.
" Fine then we will also issue similar statement out in the public.
Now onto the next topic, Giovanni, Hanzo how much do you control johto?" Roan asked the two.
" We have got twenty percent area under our control indirectly. Within the next decade we can completely erode the region and let it integrate us. " Hanzo answered.
The member of elite four just shook their head and said," they hold down Pierce or their region won"t be penetrated so deep by the shadows.
And now we have to involve in their affairs and increase our workload.
Samuel how is Alex condition?" Agatha asked her old friend.
" Alex is still suffering from post war effect. He almost attacked his siblings on instinct when they tried to wake him too forcefully abd he had some nightmares. Other thab that there aren"t any bad signs he show." He revealed his student"s situation .
" It is good then. He may recover much sooner than we thought. He is only suffering normal post effects and there won"t be any longer injury to his psych in the future " Blaine said.
" Any way let"s continue to discuss about so e other things. The gym challenges in...." Roan started the next round of things.
In the end, every region follows Alex trend and set it as a criteria for elite four selections for the future. How will the young trainers react to this? Stay tuned.
