On a private plane bound for Hammerlocke, Rose opened a dossier containing only a few lines on a blank sheet of paper.
Registered for the Pokémon World Championship two weeks ago. Participated in the Anistar Conference held in the Kalos region a week ago. Had fought his way through every round and even defeated Alain, whom the Kalos region had placed high hopes on to elevate into the Masters Eight.
Hometown: Cerulean City in the Kanto region. Once served as the acting Gym Leader of Cerulean Gym for a brief period of one day. Seemed to have made some sort of contribution and received investment from the Kanto Alliance...
Looking at this utterly incoherent dossier, with its almost entirely blank record of growth, Rose revealed a meaningful smile.
Oleana, standing beside him, said with certainty, "It seems the Kalos Alliance considers him a hot potato and wants to use this opportunity to throw him over to Galar."
"No matter."
"The Pokémon World Championship is now the most famous competition in the world. The Kalos Alliance wants to support two Trainers in entering the Masters Eight. Doesn't the Galar Alliance have the same intention?"
"However, unlike timid Kalos, Galar will never fear the challenge of any strong opponent. Su Hao's arrival will absolutely not shake the Galar Alliance!"
Rose set down the dossier, his voice brimming with confidence.
"You are absolutely right."
Oleana echoed him.
Not only did Galar have Dande, the undefeated and top-ranked strongest Champion, it also had Raihan, who rivaled the League Champions of other regions, veterans like Opal, and several Gym Leaders comparable to the Elite Four of other regions.
In terms of overall strength, the Galar region was unquestionably among the top regions.
An Elite Four Level Trainer was not enough to turn Galar upside down.
