When Aoki accepted the job, he truly jumped into a huge pit.
Mumu, sitting beside him, desperately covered her mouth, her face flushed, tears about to burst from her eyes, her body trembling with varying intensity...
She wasn't sick.
She was purely holding back laughter.
Having been the chief investigator for so long, she naturally knew about those historical issues and what kind of tasks they were.
So when she saw Aoki's aggrieved expression, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
But in such a serious conference room, could she laugh?
No!
That's why she was stifled to this extent.
It wasn't just her; many others, mostly younger individuals, were in the sa situation, while the older ones all wore knowing smiles.
It seed as if Adams and Drake were assigning Aoki very cumberso and complex tasks, but wasn't this also helping him? Training him?
At their level, battles don't just break out anyti; sotis, taking action doesn't just represent themselves but also the Alliance behind them.
However, Aoki's strength is currently in a period of rapid improvent. Not to ntion the inherent strength of his Pokémon, Aoki's dual-core sandstorm tactic, or even pseudo-triple-core sandstorm tactic, requires a lot of practical combat for training and refinent. These tasks provide Aoki with legitimate and open opportunities to take action.
Drake and Adams's help to Aoki was truly ticulous... or so it seed.
"Ahem, Kahili, the Gyms will still be your responsibility. As for the other tasks, I've already distributed them for you, so you'll have more ti for training and improving your strength."
Hearing Adams's words, Kahili let out a long sigh of relief.
The days of being exploited were finally gone; from now on, he would also leave work on ti!
"No problem, I'm familiar with this," Kahili said.
"However, I require that before the end of this year, you inspect all the Gyms in the Hoenn region. Any that are unqualified or act improperly must be abolished, especially those Gym Leaders who treat their Gyms as personal property.
Soon, the Hoenn region will see a large number of challengers due to the Grand League. I don't want to leave too many negative impressions of the Alliance on these future mbers of the Alliance.
I trust you understand its importance!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Kahili's face disappeared, and he nodded seriously.
I knew it wouldn't be that simple!
"Phoebe, the Alliance tournants will still be your responsibility; you don't need to worry about anything else. This Grand League is crucial for our Hoenn Alliance. You must handle the arrangents and discretion well. As for the previously suspended Advanced Tournant, it will now resu as normal.
You also erged from this area, so you know the specific operational details of this."
Adams said to Ice-type Elite Four Phoebe.
Ice-type Elite Four Phoebe is the most composed, or rather, the most ticulous person among the current four Elite Four mbers in the Hoenn region.
Perhaps people who like Ice-type Pokémon are all like this, with a colder personality. So Phoebe values fairness greatly, and any bribes or backdoor dealings are very difficult to get through with her.
Therefore, entrusting the most fairness-demanding competitions to Phoebe is the most suitable and what Adams is most confident in.
"Okay," Phoebe nodded. She was primarily responsible for this area anyway. Now, only so trivial matters have been distributed, and the main work remains largely unchanged.
As for what Adams ntioned, the Advanced Tournant.
That is a non-promotional but public competition held regularly by the Alliance, requiring participants to have at least Elite-level strength. Among the strongest, there are even many mbers with Elite Four-level strength. Whether they are masters within various towns, strong individuals working within the Alliance, or even strong trainers traveling from other regions, all can participate.
The sole purpose of this tournant is to select powerful masters for the Hoenn Alliance, and it even includes the selection of the Elite Four.
The way Aoki beca an Elite Four mber this ti is a minority. Generally, people who want to beco an Elite Four mber need to participate in this highest-level tournant, challenging their way up level by level. Finally, they will have the opportunity to challenge an Elite Four mber. If they win, after their identity is confird, they can replace the one they defeated and beco the new Elite Four!
Of course, not many people can reach this stage. More often, after challenging to a certain extent, they demonstrate their strength and potential to the Alliance. After being tested by the Alliance, they can hold mid-to-high-level positions within the Alliance.
Currently, many people in the Alliance's standing army were selected from this process.
The purpose of doing this is to ensure that the Alliance always has new blood flowing in, and also to ensure that the Elite Four mbers do not feel complacent just because they have beco Elite Four. There are always people who can reach their level.
Both Kahili and Phoebe are individuals who erged from this highest-level tournant. They both directly defeated forr Elite Four mbers, stepping over them to reach their positions.
Of course, this is a way for the Alliance to transition between old and new, and no one thinks they are doing anything wrong.
Those who erge from these competitions are often referred to by the older generation as "tournant-type trainers," having less experience in life-and-death battles.
Aoki has beco the Fourth Elite Four mber, and he is the most likely to be challenged next.
And people like Drake and Aoki are called "combat-type trainers," tempered by years of life-and-death struggles in the wild, and they did not reach this stage through large-scale tournants.
However, once one reaches the level of an Elite Four mber, there's no distinction between "tournant-type" and "combat-type"; no Elite Four mber is incapable of practical combat.
As for the only difference between these Advanced Tournants and the upcoming Grand League... the entry requirents are different.
Why was the highest-level tournant closed before? Because Wattson was severely injured, it was impossible for people to seize the opportunity to challenge the Elite Four at that ti, so it was temporarily closed.
It is precisely because of this that Aoki was able to beco an Elite Four mber in a different way!
"As for Aoki... you are temporarily in charge of the Breeder's Guild, but there isn't much to do, and you've also helped Elite Four Drake share so tasks, but it's only sharing, so I still need to assign you work!" Adams said.
"..." Aoki was speechless.
You are absolutely right!
Then Adams's expression beca serious, "During the previous Team Magma and Team Aqua incidents, various large and small underground forces in different towns erged. Did they think our Alliance had no one? I know you are good at this kind of combat, so I'm also giving you this task. Get rid of those who were the most boisterous and active...
Root them all out!! I demand that you do this beautifully! You must do it decisively! You must demonstrate the strength of our Hoenn Alliance!
Any problems?!"
Hearing Adams's words, Aoki's expression also beca serious, and he said without hesitation, "No problem!"
"Good! You have the authority to mobilize various units: investigators, standing forces, local Gyms, and Alliance police. This matter! You must do it beautifully for ! The whole world is watching us!" Adams was very domineering when he said these things.
