Chapter 447
Alex didn't just intend to elevate the twins. Within a month, all six children would become Pokémon trainers.
Aurora and Camila were the only complications.
Both were eleven. Aurora looked younger than she was, which made things slightly inconvenient. Officially, it was illegal for anyone under twelve to own or register a Pokémon.
Unofficially?
The rule was elastic.
The Alliance enforced it strictly with very young children. But with ten- or eleven-year-olds—especially those who could plausibly pass for twelve—it often became a matter of convenience. Paperwork was rarely scrutinized unless someone forced it to be.
Neither Aurora nor Camila possessed special psychic talent that qualified them under the Genius Rule. That would have simplified things.
But Alex didn't need simplification. He only needed a good probability.
He would keep them inside the orphanage grounds. Training would happen discreetly. When they entered the wild, it would be in supervised groups, in low-surveillance areas. No tournaments. No public challenges. No unnecessary exposure.
