Chapter 185: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice [185]
Two weeks had passed.
Outside the Kanto region, other regions seemed to gradually forget about the brutal war that had previously unfolded.
Thanks to Kukui's efforts, all nine regions affiliated with the League had agreed to participate in a large-scale friendship tournament to celebrate the official establishment of the Alola League.
After consulting with Goodshow, Kukui decided to allow the Elite Four and candidate champions from each region to participate. Goodshow agreed to hold this tournament for three main reasons:
To divert the public's attention.
To showcase the League's strength, reassuring the public that the League was still capable of protecting them.
To officially promote candidate champions like Steven, Cynthia, and Diantha to their rightful positions.
Originally, Goodshow and the other League chairpersons planned to hold regional tournaments in their respective areas to promote their champions. For instance, the interrupted Indigo Plateau Conference was intended to elevate Lance to replace Agatha. Similarly, in Hoenn, the Ever Grande Conference was planned to push Steven Stone into Champion, to be followed by Sinnoh, Kalos, and Unova...
Oh, right—Unova was a special case. Although Alder's strength had declined following the death of his main Pokémon, they still hadn't found a suitable successor. Alder would probably have to remain in his position for a few more years.
After discussions with the other League chairpersons, Goodshow decided to use this opportunity to promote all these young trainers in one swift move, symbolizing the beginning of a new era for the League.
For a time, the world's attention was focused on Alola.
