"That's right. The Oak Family should have been the first to learn of it. Wave Wind, Dragon Tamer, the Temple, and Stone found out at roughly the same time. Before I returned, the old fellows from our five families gathered at the Kanto League headquarters to discuss it!" Bofeng Aoyun nodded.
"Grandpa, I wanted to ask something. Arceus is about to bring forth a new source of life, and a new type will be added to the Pokémon world. Does that mean Pokémon of this type will appear out of nowhere, or will some Pokémon gain it in addition to their existing types?" Liu Qing asked.
"Both possibilities you mentioned could happen. Once Arceus's source of life is fully formed, that leading authority in Pokémon research from the Oak Family will immediately share information with us about which Pokémon gain the new type and which new Pokémon appear! Of course, that doesn't mean we in Wave Wind can neglect our own exploration and research!" Bofeng Aoyun said with a smile.
"Father, do you know where the New Type Plate will appear?" A strange gleam flashed through Bofeng Yu's eyes.
"How could anyone know the location of such a divine treasure before it emerges?!" Bofeng Aoyun's voice held a trace of regret. Then he continued, "That's precisely why, although our five families learned of this ahead of everyone else, all we can do is prepare early for the coming upheaval in the Pokémon world!"
"It seems getting a head start on preparations really is our only option. Once the New Type Plate appears, every faction will probably join the contest. Those that already possess Plates will want it to strengthen their fortune, while those without one will want to rise into the ranks of the top factions. A storm is coming!"
