Chapter 700 - 699: Armaldo
"Heh, what do you elite members cultivated by the Alliance know? You have no idea what someone like me, who rose from the depths of this world, has had to endure."
The woman wore a look of evident disdain. Despite having worked for the Alliance for so long, what she despised most were those so-called elite members.
They had access to the best resources, the best conditions, and were full of arrogance, yet their skills left much to be desired. That was her opinion of the Alliance’s elite.
Even those who seemed stronger were nothing more than decorations—greenhouse flowers. They had never experienced a real Pokémon battle, only what they called "combat training."
Could they even be considered true trainers?
In today’s relatively peaceful environment, their existence wasn’t a problem. But if the Alliance thought it could thrive solely on such people, it was utterly ridiculous!
Her name was Kaya, and she was born in a small town in the Hoenn region. As a commoner, her first Pokémon was a Wurmple she caught by risking her life in a forest. From that moment on, through constant effort, she became an official trainer.
Then, after much time and countless hardships, she managed to become a worker for the Alliance.
It took her years to realize just how extraordinary her talent was.
If the Alliance had supported her from the beginning, now, at twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, she wouldn’t just be at an advanced or near-elite level—she could have even aspired to the elite level.
But she didn’t have that option. She was merely an ordinary trainer with no background and average abilities. Perhaps, if she worked for the Alliance for decades, her children might earn the title of elite members of the Alliance.
