Over the past year, various changes have occurred in different regions of Pokémon.
First, there are the Johto and the Kanto Region, which are connected.
After discussions, the two regional Pokémon League decided to merge, forming a unified Pokémon League, the Indigo League.
The Pokémon League is located on Indigo Plateau.
However, the two regions are also two independent administrative districts, and can hold their own conferences regularly.
Furthermore, Pokémon Trainer from both regions can participate in each other's regional tournaments, as both are hosted by the Indigo League.
The Lysandre Institute in the Kalos Region has introduced "Holographic Communication Device" technology, which transforms Holographic Communication from Holographic Communication face-to-face.
Dynamax Battle are being rolled out across the Galar region.
The Kalos League has adjusted the Pokémon battle rules. If Pokémon evolves during a battle, as long as the evolution time does not affect the match (like Mega Evolution, which only takes 2-3 seconds), the battle will not be automatically lost.
Roy landed on the outskirts of Saffron City on his Dragapult, marking his last battle of the day in the Saffron City Ring Arena.
Upon arriving in the center of Saffron City, Roy didn't go straight to the Arena. Instead, he went to the post office next door to mail some things.
Upon entering the post office, Roy saw a Delibird helping the staff sort the mail.
Upon seeing Roy enter, the staff quickly stood up to greet Roy.
Roy took out four Pokéblock from his own Spatial Bracelet.
Of the two sets of Misdreavus Pokéblock, the first was sent to the Iono in the Paldea region, and the other was sent to Erika in Hoenn.
Both of them followed his advice and allowed Misdreavus to evolve into Mismagius using Dusk Stone at level 40.
The Mismagius's Pokéblock was sent to Phoebe.
The last universal Advanced Ghost-type Pokéblock is for Cynthia in the Sinnoh Region.
Just the day before yesterday, he Holographic Communication with Cynthia in the Sinnoh Region. Cynthia said that her Spiritomb had eaten all the previous Pokéblock.
Because Lysandre's "Holographic Communication Technology" could already be applied to Communicator, Roy was practically meeting Cynthia in person.
Cynthia, who already had a mature and sophisticated style, is now even more so. It's a pity she still has Agatha's mission to complete, otherwise she would definitely go to the Sinnoh Region.
Roy also noticed that Cynthia was holding a lipstick inlaid with Key Stone, which didn't surprise him.
Before the two could even exchange a word, a series of wailing cries came from the other end of the Communicator. Immediately afterward, Cynthia's Spiritomb stepped forward, pushed Cynthia aside, and clung to his 3D image, crying and demanding to eat the Pokéblock he had created.
On the other end of the Communicator, Cynthia looked at the Spiritomb, who seemed to miss Roy even more than she did, and was speechless.
No, you two go over there.
Roy packed up all four Pokéblock and handed them to a staff member nearby.
The staff were stunned to see the Pokéblock destined for three regions. After confirming that the delivery addresses were correct, they had the Delibird send the items out for Roy.
There weren't many changes in Saffron City during that year; Sabrina hadn't appeared yet, so there was no such thing as Psychic Gym.
However, a brand new Arena has been built next to the original Arena in Saffron City, and its size is three times that of the original arena.
It was prepared for Dynamax battles after Galar Dynamax, but since only Galar can Dynamax, and there are no Dynamax Particles in the Kanto Region, it is impossible to activate the Wishing Star in the Dynamax Band.
Therefore, this Dynamax Arena became a backup Arena.
Roy had just finished sending the Pokéblock and was about to enter the Arena when he Arena area outside already packed with people.
A large crowd was packed at the entrance of the Ring Arena, blocking the Arena completely and making it impossible to get in.
What's going on?
Why are there so many people this afternoon?
Although he usually comes to play matches at night, there shouldn't be this many people present.
Finally, a staff member who knew Roy pulled Roy through a back door into the Arena.
Roy's doubts remained unresolved after Roy entered the Arena, as it was the first time he had ever seen so many people in the preparation room, which was almost completely packed.
Why is the Arena so crowded today?
The two Ghost-type Trainers from before were also in the Arena. When they saw Roy, they came over from the crowd. Neither of them knew what was going on.
In the end, it was Nurse Joy in the Arena who answered Roy's question.
"Didn't you know? Today Dragon type Elite Four Lance and Ice type Elite Four Lorelei are holding an exhibition match in our Ring Arena."
An exhibition match between two regional Elite Four?
Lorelei and Lance?
Isn't Lance the Flying type Elite Four?
No, isn't Lance just asking for trouble by playing against Kenneth?
After hearing what Nurse Joy said, Roy finally realized why there were so many people in the Arena today.
However, he genuinely didn't know; with his time so tight every day, how could he possibly have time to care about any exhibition matches?
If that's the case, does that mean I'll be able to see Lorelei?
While Roy was still thinking, the large screen in the preparation room lit up.
All the contestants looked up at the big screen.
Inside the Arena, the host of the Advanced Division appeared on camera riding Pidgeot. After saying a few simple words, the camera turned to the command seats on both sides.
On one side was Yulong Du, who wore a black cloak and had red hair.
Compared to when he became a regional Elite Four just two years ago, Lance much more mature now.
The other party is currently the head of the prosecutors for the Kanto and Johto League Prosecutors, responsible for maintaining order and combating criminal organizations in both regions...
Roy believes that Indigo League's strong support for the League Prosecutors is a way for the Pokémon League to check and balance the League Police Bureau, since the Pokémon League's violent institutions cannot be controlled by a single family.
In short, anything the League Police Bureau can do, the League Prosecutors can do; anything the League Police Bureau can't do, the League Prosecutors can also do—they act first, report later, with Pokémon League special permission...
Through the large screen, Roy also noticed that Lance was wearing a fingerless glove with a Key Stone on his left hand, and a Dynamax Band on his wrist.
Actually, if you don't live in Galar but still want to Dynamax, there's another way besides having 0.00001 Eternatus like Roy did.
That is to teleport the Dynamax Band to the Galar region, absorb the Dynamax Factor in Galar, and then teleport it back to your own region.
However, the cost of such inter-regional teleportation is extremely high, but for a family like Lance's, who comes from the Dragon Clan and can spend billions of Poké Dollars to buy Pokéblock, it's just a drop in the ocean.
Of course, this is a one-time Dynamax, and after using it once, you need to teleport back to Galar to replenish the Dynamax Factor.
On the command seat directly opposite him was Lorelei, with long chestnut hair and a mature, sophisticated aura.
Looking at Lorelei in the command seat, Roy nodded to himself.
Hmm, judging by appearances, she'd be at least a 36D... E size?
Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw... Lorelei should be the one with great strength.
Yes! Incredibly powerful!!!
Lorelei didn't have Dynamax Band on her wrist, only an ice-blue bracelet with a Key Stone on it.
This also shows that Lorelei has mastered the Mega Evolution battle system.
"Look, it's Lance!!! I got wrecked by him in our Arena before!"
"Lorelei!!!! I love you!!!"
"I want to be Miss Lorelei's dog!!!"
The appearance of Lance and Lorelei instantly ignited the players' preparation room, with their popularity almost evenly matched.
