Chapter 541: The Situation in Various Regions
Indigo League.
Lance still hadn't become the Champion.
But this time the situation is somewhat different.
He now doesn't want to become the Champion.
The Champion is still Gold, and Gold has already become an outstanding quasi-Champion level trainer.
Lance's current identity is the Director of the International Police's Indigo League Branch.
Also.
It is worth mentioning.
Heard that Lance and Lorelei seem to be in an ambiguous state, having a tendency to become lovers.
A small portion of people secretly speculate that Lance has contracted Stockholm Syndrome.
As for the evil organization Team Rocket opposing the Indigo League.
They are still hiding their heads and showing their tails (acting secretively) without any major movements.
Giovanni is even more completely MIA (Missing In Action).
However, some people say they have seen the Team Rocket highest executive Hades, who was rescued back then, in the Hoenn region. He was wandering back and forth in front of a newly established breeding house, suspected to be preparing to snatch Pokémon.
Hoenn League.
The former Champion Steven retired early, and Wallace was press-ganged by him to fill the Champion position.
He truly couldn't stand that kind of life where he couldn't constantly explore stones.
It is said.
After Steven retired, he wandered around the Kalos area, focusing on collecting Mega Stones and looking for the Princess of the Diamond Domain, Diancie.
Just two years ago.
Steven found a Garchompite and mailed it to Cynthia, allowing Blonde-kun and the big mother shark to also achieve Mega Evolution.
As a reward.
Cynthia contacted her good bestie Diancie.
Asking her to personally show up with the Carbink to receive Steven.
The specific scene is unknown.
Anyway, Diancie said she was startled at the time, having never seen such a passionate and polite gentleman.
Now Steven seems to be permanently stationed in the Diamond Domain.
Even sleeping over there, not leaving even if woken up by the heat seven or eight times in the middle of the night.
His current goal is placed on helping Diancie create the Heart Diamond.
Thinking of the matter of the Heart Diamond.
Will and Cynthia separately told Steven the intelligence about Yveltal and Xerneas. The specifics of how to help Diancie were left for Steven to think about himself.
When the two major matters of Legendary Pokémon and stones are mixed together.
This man is incomparably reliable.
At least in Will's view, even if Ash doesn't arrive as scheduled, Diancie's side won't be a problem anymore.
If by the end of this year.
Steven still hasn't solved the problem of the Heart Diamond.
Then Will and Cynthia will personally go to the Kalos region to help Diancie forcefully awaken Xerneas to seek a solution.
As for the opposing evil organizations of the Hoenn League: Team Magma and Team Aqua.
These two.
Because they basically weren't affected or interfered with by Will and Cynthia in the past, looking at their development speed, they are actually the two completely unaffected ones.
For example, in recent years.
These two evil organizations can be considered the most active in all regions.
Bar none.
They frequently appear in various volcanoes and oceans, and have broken into various restricted ruins many times.
However.
Fortunately.
Team Magma and Team Aqua have no interest in ordinary people and Pokémon.
If it's not deliberately coming up to block their way or accidental injury during operations, they won't deliberately target and make things difficult for ordinary people.
Because of this point.
The level of social stability in the Hoenn region is actually unexpectedly relatively high.
Can rank second among all regions.
The first.
Must be the Sinnoh region.
Having an enemy like Will who is like a game bug, what can Team Galactic accomplish?
Today's Sinnoh region is peaceful.
Although Will can't predict exactly what Team Galactic will do, he knows their goals and general direction.
Under his arrangements borrowing Champion Cynthia's identity.
The Lake Guardians, the three Orbs, the Gracidea flowers...
Any target of Team Galactic.
Are all heavily guarded by the Sinnoh League.
At the very least.
Over here in the Sinnoh region, there's no need to worry about those messy things caused by Team Galactic.
Unova region.
Team Plasma right now is like a clown.
Without N, who originally should have gained the recognition of the Black and White Dragons, Team Plasma relying solely on the Seven Sages can't accomplish anything.
To put it bluntly.
The Seven Sages are nothing more than a group of Gym Leader to Elite Four-level trainers.
Even Team Plasma's Boss Ghetsis is only an Elite Four-level trainer.
Among these several powerful evil organizations, he is the weakest evil boss.
Similarly.
Also thanks to Team Plasma accomplishing nothing.
Unova Champion Alder's Volcarona is still alive and well to this day, and Alder's heart hasn't suffered trauma.
Heard this lively, optimistic Champion is currently traveling all over the Unova region, discovering young trainers with potential, preparing to cultivate them a bit.
Kalos region.
Team Flare has a tenacious vitality.
They were also significantly affected by Will and Cynthia, but managed to hold on tenaciously until now.
Even seem to have developed well?
Team Flare a few years ago suspectedly used the technology of Mega Evolution energy waves to exchange for a massive amount of research funds and consumables with other evil organizations and evil forces.
So now.
Team Flare's combat power, compared to the same period in the anime, not only hasn't weakened, but might even have strengthened.
And nowadays.
The Champion of the Kalos region is the newly inaugurated rookie Champion, Diantha.
Diantha in the early days also had a translated name like Carnet.
She is the Kalos League Champion who just took office this year, only 22 years old.
She is also a globally renowned actress, a Grand Duchess, and the first discoverer of Mega Gardevoir.
Her strength is pretty good.
Quasi-Champion level.
It's just that right now she lacks some work experience.
Diantha's inauguration might allow Team Flare to usher in a golden period of development for some time.
But that's also something the Kalos League should have a headache about.
The emperor is far away.
Will's hands can't reach across half the globe to the distant Kalos region.
Alola region.
Thanks to Will and Cynthia's promotion of Z-Moves in the past.
The Alola region developed vigorously in the following years.
The Pokémon League has already established the Alola League there; it has been four or five years now.
Heard starting this year.
The Alola region is going to start holding regional conferences.
It looks like Ash will miss out on being the first Alola Champion.
Who knows.
This world's Ash's Champion journey might continue for a few more years later.
It's just a pity that the Pokémon fans on Earth won't be able to see it.
At this time.
On the sea in the eastern part of the Hoenn region.
A huge cruise ship was quietly sailing on this sea area.
On the cruise ship.
Cynthia, wearing a swimsuit, was lying on a mat on the deck, letting Will apply sunscreen oil for her.
"We shouldn't be here on vacation, right?"
Will sighed helplessly.
He raised his hand and looked at the oil in his hand, then looked at the shiny, oiled back in front of him, and shook his head.
"You have to know how to snatch a little leisure from a busy life. Not slacking off at work can be very torturous."
Cynthia stretched her arms, stretching her beautiful back.
Then she shook her calves.
Signaling Will to help oil her legs.
"Where's Gold? For this kind of thing, the Hoenn League should look for the closer Gold or that Alola Champion to solve it, right."
Will skillfully reached out to rub Cynthia's plump thighs.
Don't misunderstand.
The reason he's skillful.
Is because Will has to perform tendon massages for Cynthia after every job, to soothe the muscles swollen from high-intensity work.
Anyway, Will's thoughts are absolutely serious.
On the contrary, it's Cynthia.
Sometimes after going out for a walk, returning home she howls like a pig being slaughtered for the New Year.
"Do you want them to die?"
Cynthia rolled her eyes.
Is this incident something an ordinary Champion can solve?
Admittedly.
Gold and Wallace are both very strong, and the Champion over in Alola also has a Champion-level Pokémon.
But in this operation.
It must be firmly handled by a Champion-level trainer.
Even Wallace.
This time is merely here to be an assistant to Cynthia, acting as support.
Very similar to the situation in Alto Mare in his previous life.
Steven wasn't good at naval combat, so he could only be an assistant to Lorelei.
There is specialization in professions.
Things one is not good at must be handed over to more suitable people to do, so the incident can be completed smoothly and efficiently.
This battle will likely also be completed on the sea.
Wallace is indeed very good at naval combat, but his strength is lacking somewhat.
Before setting off.
Will had already made a move to test him.
More accurately.
It was Wallace proactively challenging Cynthia.
Probably wanting to avenge the grudge from the star exhibition match back then.
But unfortunately.
Completely not a match.
Wallace's most powerful Pokémon, Milotic.
Is only Level 85.
And neither Wallace nor Steven has found a Mega Stone for Milotic.
This is also the reason why the main force in this incident is Cynthia, not Wallace.
Similarly.
If Gold or the Alola Champion came.
The situation wouldn't improve.
The former's strength is about the same as Wallace's, the latter not to mention.
It's very difficult for extremely powerful trainers to walk out of a small place like Alola.
Even the current Champion.
It's said is only ancestrally from Alola, but previously lived in the Kanto region.
"There might be some special guests in this incident."
Will muttered a sentence.
"What do you mean?"
Cynthia tilted her head slightly, glancing at the dog behind her.
"Aren't you surprised? Why would the 'Giant Rock' buried in the stone ruins of the Hoenn region run to this sea area by itself?"
Will turned to look at the calm sea surface ahead.
Anyway, as of right now.
He cannot imagine Groudon and Kyogre are heading towards this direction.
But according to the Hoenn League's monitoring data.
Those two guys have indeed woken up, just that the specific location cannot be determined, deep at the bottom of the sea.
"Why?"
"...? Are you acting cute?"
Will was momentarily stunned, reached out and gently patted Blonde-kun's butt cheek,
"Obviously someone deliberately moved the rock there. Could it be the rock grew legs and ran there itself?"
"True. Then who could it be, and why would he do this?"
Cynthia gently tilted her head.
Being patted on the butt, she didn't blush at all.
And even quite enjoyed it.
"I don't know, that's why I said, there might be special guests this time."
