Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Alliance calendar year 140, January 10th.

The location in the middle of the Quartz Plateau.

Luxurious office buildings stand here.

In front of the office building, there is a huge fountain garden filled with water mist.

The blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the pool, and many elves are playing here leisurely.

Even though it's winter, the mild climate here still makes the surrounding ornamental trees lush.

Although it is a plateau, in fact the whole place is more like a plain type surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Woods, mountains, lakes, and various buildings form a majestic scene.

Quartz Plateau is not only the seat of the Kanto Alliance, it is also the headquarters of the Pokémon Alliance.

To the northwest, the towering mountains visible to the naked eye are where Baiyin Mountain is located.

It clearly divides the Kanto region and the Johto region on a continent.

To the east is Kanto and to the west is Johto.

That is also where the current headquarters of the Chengdu Regional Alliance is located - more than ten years ago, the headquarters of the Chengdu Alliance was still located on the Quartz Plateau.

However, considering the special nature of the Kanto Alliance, there are always rumors that Johto is a part of Kanto, so the top management of the Johto Alliance resolutely changed the location of the headquarters.

Anyway, my own Silver Conference is held every year in Baiyin Town at the foot of Baiyin Mountain, so it makes sense to move it up there.

Of course, this cannot cover up the weakness of the Johto region.

Before, and now, considering that the mainland is shared, the Four Heavenly Kings and the champions of the two regions are also shared, this is a very embarrassing scene.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings in the current region, only one Yulong Envoy is from Yanmo City, the city, and the other three are actually from Guandong.

Even going forward in time, when it was even more bleak, all four regional kings were born in Kanto.

When everyone mentions the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto City, they will subconsciously acquiesce that these are the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto.

As for the city, what? The city has the Four Heavenly Kings?

Or more seriously, what? Johto? Isn’t that a subordinate region of Kanto?

It is said that the Johto Alliance is trying its best to promote the change of this situation.

This is why there are rumors that Watari will concurrently serve as the champion of the Johto region, but in fact he does not hold the title concurrently.

To talk about holding the title concurrently, it means being the champion of two regions, but it is unrealistic.

According to the current system, if Watari goes to Johto, he still has to defeat the other three regional kings of the original Kanto (Jōto), namely Kikuko, Kona and Shiba, if he wants to be the champion. Nothing has changed.

Who wants to share it?

The purpose of secretly spreading this news in the Johto region is to hope that the Pokémon League headquarters can separate the positions of the Four Heavenly Kings and the champions of the two regions.

There are the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions in Kantō, and there are the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions in Johto in Johto. From their point of view, everyone is happy.

But this involved too much and was too big. If nothing else, the Kanto Alliance was the first to disagree.

Thirdly, we have to consider the welfare and rights of the Four Heavenly Kings, which is extremely complicated.

In recent years, the top leaders of the Kanto and Johto Alliances have been wrangling over this matter.

Of course, today, the senior executives of the former have no time to pay attention to the latter.

In the building's extremely spacious conference room.

A huge conference table was placed in the middle, surrounded by a circle of chairs.

Above the chairs, there were all kinds of people, old and young, men and women.

There are also name tags placed in front of them.

Kikuko, Watari, Kona, Shiba, Junsha family, Joey family, Shiruf family, Sasaki family...

Familiar names are printed on it.

"Dong dong."

The old man wearing reading glasses sitting at the front of the table banged the wooden hammer, and the people who were still communicating immediately stopped.

The conference room, which was noisy one second, fell into silence the next.

If anyone saw this scene, they would not be surprised.

Because the old man in the first place is the well-known Pokémon League and Chairman of the Kanto League—Damalanchi.

"Ahem, okay, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting.

I won’t say much, I just want to finally confirm the specific matters of this Quartz Conference, as well as report and handle some alliance affairs.”

Dama Lanqi said slowly.

"First of all, how are the preparations for the conference, player village, venue, and elf center and other facilities?"

The old man looked through the reports in front of him and asked casually.

"Security is all normal. The Junsha family will do their best to ensure the normal progress of the Quartz Conference. Numerous drills have been conducted on various emergencies."

The representative of the Junsha family who attended the meeting answered sonorously and forcefully.

"The Joey family is also ready. We have specially deployed a new mobile team for the emergencies that were added last year."

The representative of the Joey family held his eyes on the bridge of his nose and answered gracefully.

"The venue layout has been completed. The eight secondary venues, four attribute venue venues and one main venue can complete the preparation and operation at overload. All referees have also been in place."

The president of the Referees Association skillfully repeats his words year after year.

"Well, the registration office needs to be ready to accept registrations, and the Junsha family still needs to help divide the queues and not make the queue too long.

Regarding the volunteers who assist, the four logistics departments should remember to organize simple training to avoid making mistakes and not making the same mistakes as last year.

Then the three logistics departments, the main restaurant, the secondary restaurant and the banquet hall, must do a good job to provide the best protection for the players.

When it comes to the admission of spectators, security checks must be done to prevent evil from taking advantage of the situation.

......."

Damalan Qi explained everything in detail according to the report.

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and the person in charge of each department responded one by one.

This is an inevitable part of every year.

The alliance conference has many meanings. For example, it is the best way to show the backward power of a region.

Not only people from this region, but many people from other regions will also pay attention.

After all, not all conferences coincide in time.

Even if there is some overlap, people have always been extremely happy to watch high-level battles.

In a conference, whether there are enough young talents emerging and whether the trainers who have won the top four seats are strong enough are one of the criteria for many people to measure the strength of a region.

For another example, this is a process for regional alliances to demonstrate their soft power, just like the Olympic Games in Tetsuya's previous life.

The success of a regional conference will largely affect whether people from other regions will travel here.

This is an indispensable part of stimulating the regional economy.

Especially for a group like the Shirouf family, even if its business extends to other areas, this is its base.

It really hopes that more people will come here to spend money.

The stronger the Kanto region is, the more obvious its benefits will be.

The old man's words continued to echo in the spacious conference room.

Although he is very old, his spirit is still so good.

"Then, this part of the discussion comes to an end."

As his concluding words came to an end, some people couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

This kind of repetitive work every year is still a headache. This is the 140th time. In fact, there is not much worth discussing.

Including President Dama Lanqi, everyone adjusted their stiff bodies unconsciously.

The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

"The publicity team can go to the press conference." The old man took off his glasses and told the person recording on the side.

"yes."

The person next to him quickly closed his notebook, bowed slightly, and exited the conference room.

Watanabe picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, "Then, should I start first?"

He looked at Juzi.

Juzi nodded indifferently, "I have nothing to say."

Du didn't take it seriously.

“This year, the number of completed Kwantung Alliance investigators’ missions was 267, which is 6% less than last year. The overall trend is good.

Among them, there were 125 missions caused by foreign trainers, 137 missions caused by local trainers, and 5 missions caused by dark organizations.

It can be mainly divided into the following categories:..."

Du read the report in his hand according to the script.

With the start of the annual Quartz Conference, the alliance's senior executives will also start their own work reports in turn.

After all, everyone is very busy. It’s hard to find a way to get together. It’s better to finish everything at once.

"At the same time, the Kanto Alliance Prosecutor Branch has added a new system, the talent reserve system. The talents included in the first round are as follows: Oniba Hazo, Kona Ako, Shiba Muneki, Sasaki Seiichiro...

....Tetsuya Tamaki......

There are a total of sixteen young trainers.

The specific system rules have been sent to you along with the report."

However, this time is different from the past, Du really came up with something new.

"Well, the last system has been approved by the alliance. If you have any dissatisfaction with the candidates, you can raise it."

Dama Lanci wiped his reading glasses with a tissue and put them on again.

"It's not just this Tamaki Tetsuya, it's...?"

The dozen or so representatives sitting at the back looked at each other in confusion, and then asked their own questions.

The other fifteen people are either relatives of the Four Heavenly Kings or descendants of big families.

The only one, Tamaki Tetsuya, although they had heard of him and seemed to be somewhat famous, should not enter.

It's not that they are stupid and are looking for trouble to question the alliance. The main reason is that with such an opportunity in front of them, it is difficult not to fight for the opportunity for their own people.

This is not the first time that this talent reserve mechanism has appeared, and everyone knows what it means.

To put it more exaggeratedly, he is the reserve force that is the backbone of the league.

"He is the additional sixteenth person that I personally recommended, and I also consulted Dr. Ohki's opinion."

Du replied calmly, without explaining much, but the implication was obvious.

Don't b.

The representatives laughed and did not dare to say another word.

"If nothing happens, I will be the next one." Ke Na, who has the voice of a royal sister, spoke up.

More than one man looked at her and swallowed secretly.

As the king of ice, Kona has a very cold temperament, and his strength and charm are sought after by countless people.

"About the recent earthquakes in Twin Islands..."

Kona's first sentence made many people subconsciously pick up the report they had never seen before.
