In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"Yes, Ultra Beasts are indeed an unstable factor. The League has even established a special Ultra Beast Countermeasures Department in Alola."

"But there are very few cases of Ultra Beasts injuring people each year. The League has been researching Ultra Beasts for ten years."

"For a full decade, they still haven't been able to ascertain the truth about Ultra Beasts, but how many more decades will Alola have to wait before they can finally hold their heads high?"

Bakura looked into the cave, where the construction team of the Alliance was working.

In fact, it's not just the Union Building located on Mount Ranakira, but also an island near Paradise Ether.

The Manaro Arena, also funded by Etherland, is under construction.

The Alola League and the League Arena should be perfectly completed by the end of the year!

"Whether it's Dr. Kukui, me, or anyone else in Alola, we don't want the people of Alola to feel inferior when they leave Alola and walk around the world."

Upon hearing Bakura's words, both Cynthia and Gadriya frowned deeply, pursing their lips, unsure of what to say.

They weren't children, so they were able to understand Bakura's thoughts.

Yes, but why? Other regions can form alliances, but Alola can't?

While the danger level of Ultra Beasts is uncertain, Alola is already a world-renowned resort destination.

Why doesn't the Pokémon League ban people from other regions from coming here for vacation?

"But... is this really okay? Forming an alliance without permission isn't allowed by the Elf League, is it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Cattleya looked up and asked Bakura.

Rather than asking a question, it was more of a warning: forming alliances privately is absolutely not allowed.

This is a provocation against the Pokémon League because it disregards its authority.

Cynthia remained silent. As the Sinnoh League Champion, she was arguably one of the Pokémon League's top executives.

It's already quite good that they haven't stood up to criticize Bakura at this moment.

This is because she didn't really think Bakura had done anything seriously wrong, and protecting the interests of her own region was a sense of responsibility.

As a high-ranking member of the Pokémon League, she had the right and the right to question Bakura, but she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Why not?" Bakura asked in return.

"The establishment of the Alola League can bring more people to Alola, improve Alola's conditions and development. As for the issue of Ultra Beasts..."

"I will handle it personally. As long as Alola can develop, I don't care about anything else."

Bakura said calmly, "Since the Pokémon League doesn't support Alola forming a league, then Alola will do it themselves!"

“Forming an alliance is not that simple. What you are doing may not be helping Alola develop, but rather harming the entire Alola.”

Looking at the young man before her, Cynthia's beautiful face remained expressionless as she shook her head and slowly said.

She could hear the stubbornness and will in Bakura's language.

However, she did not agree with Bakura's approach, as the Pokémon League was the largest power organization in the world.

Having offended the Elf Alliance, it won't be so easy to develop peacefully.

Yes, Bakura's initial intentions were good, and Cynthia does not deny that. As an Alolaian, Bakura had the will to develop Alola and shoulder this difficult responsibility.

This is very touching and cannot be blamed, but many things in the world cannot be accomplished simply by having a firm belief.

Bakura is indeed very strong, but an alliance and a region cannot be supported by a single strong person.

"Yes, of course I understand that. One person's strength is limited and cannot bear the weight of the entire Alola."

"So I'm working hard, trying to make all of Alola stronger."

Bakura's lips curled up slightly. He understood what Cynthia meant. Even if he was invincible, he was still just one person.

Bakura carried the weight of a god, but even a god could not bring prosperity to a region.

A force needs more than just an invincible strongman; it also needs backbone and support, and these are what Bakura has been working hard to provide.

"Cynthia, do you remember our bet?"

Do you remember our bet?

Hearing Bakura's words, Cynthia was taken aback. Of course, she remembered that in a battle against all of Bakura's members, the victor could make a request to the loser.

This was her bet with Bakura.

But what does Bakura mean by suddenly bringing this up now?

"Actually, I had thought about this from the beginning. If I win, I hope you can come to Alola and become one of the Elite Four."

Bakura's lips curled slightly as he looked at Cynthia and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Gadriya was taken aback, glanced at Cynthia, and her expression was slightly strange.

Should Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion, be appointed as one of the Elite Four in Alola?

Cynthia: "..."

You really have wild ideas...

"But thinking about it later, even if I defeated you, you probably wouldn't agree to this request."

Bakura chuckled softly, turned around, and looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds as he spoke slowly.

That was indeed his idea, although he had initially considered using the request to test whether Cynthia would actually agree.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that Cynthia is different from those young people.

The rational and calm Cynthia wouldn't make a ridiculous decision on a whim.

Even if she is weaker than Bakura, why would she abandon her Sinnoh Champion title and her region?

Did they cross the ocean to come to Alola and become one of the Elite Four?

“I won’t lose to you.” Cynthia shook her head upon hearing this; she didn’t believe she would lose to Bakura.

"What if something unexpected happens? Would you grant me such a request?"

Bakura didn't dwell on the outcome and instead asked a question.

This was indeed a question that he was quite curious about.

Gadriya looked at her best friend with her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't guess how Cynthia would answer.

Although the two have a very good relationship, and even their appearances are equally exquisite, with the same golden hair.

However, her personality is completely different from Cynthia's. Gadriya upholds the aristocratic etiquette of a noble family, is elegant, reserved and noble, and occasionally has a bit of arrogance, especially when her sleep is disturbed.

Caldelia is actually quite a sleepyhead and has a bad temper when she wakes up, but this is a change she has made since her transformation.

Well, she was truly terrifying because she couldn't control her superpowers at will, and even became irritable when her superpowers went berserk.

Cynthia, on the other hand, is dignified, elegant, and beautiful. The two not only have different temperaments but also different personalities.

Cattleya believed that if she were to make a bet with Bakura and lose, she might agree to Bakura's request out of aristocratic pride.

She doesn't value regional honor that much, otherwise she wouldn't have become one of the Unova Elite Four; she should have been one of the Sinnoh Elite Four.

It's just a change of environment; it's nothing to Cattleya.

"If I lose...~."

Upon hearing this, Cynthia frowned slightly, hesitant and unsure how to respond.

Logically speaking, this demand is rather excessive, as it can be seen as using a bet to blackmail someone.

However, in some respects it's not excessive, because it's just an invitation, and you can refuse if you want to.

"I will neither agree nor refuse." After a long silence, Cynthia shook her head and said.

"Bakura, do you know what forming an alliance means?"

"The League is not just a building, nor is it just about facing the hostility of the Pokémon League. The significance of establishing the League lies in facing scrutiny from all over the world and opening the 'doors' of the region to invite trainers from all over to come and challenge us."

"Battle facilities, gyms, training grounds for trainers, league tournaments, the Elite Four, and so on—these are all things that must be considered when establishing a league."

Cynthia spoke with a serious and earnest expression on her beautiful face.

"Of course, that's why I'm preparing for it. Ether Paradise has enormous financial resources. The Alliance Building and the Alliance Tournament are not difficult for Ether Paradise."

"As for Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, I've already started looking for them, which is why I've set my sights on you, Cynthia."

"You are an extremely powerful trainer, capable of serving as one of the Alola Elite Four."

Bakura chuckled lightly. Of course, he wouldn't overlook these things. He had already been planning the Alola League for some time.

Furthermore, Cynthia did not directly refuse, which means she is not particularly resistant, implying that there is a chance!

“You only consider Cynthia to be at the Elite Four level? Mr. Bakura, you’re being far too arrogant.”

Upon hearing this, Gadria couldn't help but say, "Cynthia is the first female champion in the history of the Pokémon League."

His talent and brilliance were so great that even Cattleya had to acknowledge and admire them.

Such a prodigy was actually designated as one of the Alola Elite Four by Bakura.

"It's not arrogance, but in my opinion, Kukui is not even qualified to be one of the Alola Elite Four."

Bakura shook his head. Perhaps it sounded arrogant to say that, but it was indeed his opinion.

Since we're going to form an alliance, we should naturally aim to become the strongest alliance!

Whether it's the dojo or the Four Heavenly Kings, Bakura doesn't want to be inferior to other regions.

"Excuse my bluntness, Mr. Bakura, you really are a... crazy person."

Even with her composure, Gadriya's eyelids twitched slightly.

Although she didn't know Kukui, she remembered that Bakura had just mentioned that Kukui was a champion trainer...

Why can't even champion-level trainers make it into Bakura's Elite Four?

What's wrong with this world?
