Ash: ring ring, this just in. Rookie Swift Austin slams the proverbial door on Sun eilo. Hahaha. I couldn't have enjoyed it more if I'd beaten sun myself. Oh wait, i have!
The tv producers were not impressed with him.
Ash: now, enough about me. Here to tell you how it happened is professional number cruncher. Miss Natalie bridges.
Natalie: it's a pleasure to be here Ash and actually i prefer the term statistical analyst.
Ash: right you are. So, who is this mysterious newcomer Swift Austin. And why is he so damn fast?
Natalie: it's no mystery if you study the data Mr Ketchum. Swift Austin is part of the next generation of high tech trainers unlike the veterans of yesterday-
Ash: what? You mean old timers like this guy?
Ash points at images of other old trainers next to sun. Along with the next ace trainers.
Natalie: I'm right Swift achieves his top speeds by exploiting the numbers I refer of course to pokemon data. The IVs, EVs, nature's, stats, and next gens like Swift are taking advantage. The pokemon world is changing.
Ash: and for the better if my old pal Sun here is out for the count. Am j right?
Natalie: well if im certain of anything Ash, it's that this season is about to get even more interesting.
Now in johto.
Announcer: good morning, johto. Today we bring to you Lance versus Swift Austin for the johto championship. Because if Swift, we have 6 next generation trainers in this season alone and we still have many veterans still in the season. A nice start before the kalos season.
Swift: morning champ, how's our living legend today?
Lance: uh still very much alive thank you and i would appreically-
Swift: i can't believe I get to battle the Lance in his freeware season.
Lance: what are you talking about?

This is lance ☝ as an old man.
Announcer: Ready.....set.....Go!
Swift: good luck out there champ! You're gonna need it! Now, roaring moon, use dragon rush!
Lance: that's what you think! Dragonite, use dragon breath!
The two dragons rush at eachother.
Back at the studio
Natalie: one reason Swift and the next gens are more efficient, their ability to know which moves exploit their opponents weaknesses. Swift is in a class of his own and a big reason for that training on the new pokemon battle simulator. These machines create a virtual battle so real, trainers never even have yo go outside. 2% special abilities. 1.2% top stab moves.
As Natalie explains Swift was close to winning.
Lance: don't give up, dragonite! Come on, hyper beam!
Swift: counter with your hyper beam! Lets end this! Dragon claw!
Dragonite lost energy in his hyper beam, and was at roaring moons mercy. Roaring moon charges at dragonite and swipes the dragon pokemon. Dragonite faints from exhaustion.
Announcer: we have a Winner! And New pokemon johto champion, Swift Austin!
Swift Austin hardly broke a sweat.
Back at the studio one last time.
Natalie: there seems to be no stopping swift at his winning spree. The chances of anyone else beating Swift has a 0.01% chance of winning. It's no secret that all these veteran trainers are retiring or being fired and making room for these younger better trainers. The old alolan champion sun eilo is washed up. He's old news. And the numbers don't lie.
Ash: you got that right Natalie. These old trainers are just too old and slow. Time to make way for the next generation.

This is Natalie bridges. ☝
Ash: that's all for now on poke pics with Ash Ketchum. We will see you here again next week.
After the cameras stop rolling.
Ash: great shoot today. Now if you excuse me, i need to go meet up with a new champion.
At the interview with a bunch of press.
People were asking Swift about what is his battle strategy.
Swift: it's easy, you just have to make them over work themselves. Ah and are you the legendary Ash Ketchum. Didn't you lose to Sun Eilo many years ago?
Ash: don't push it, Swift. I won galar a little while ago. And I'm still 10 years old.
Swift: moving on.
Ash: oh yeah, how easy it was to beat my old pal sun? I'm sure it wasn't much of a struggle.
Swift: sun? Nah the old man was just a push over. His lycanroc was slow and old. Stood no chance against me or my roaring moon. It just goes to show you how these old trainers have lost their touch.
Ash: you got that right. The time of these veterans is over. So, Swift, what is your next win to the start of this season?
Swift: my next win to the start of this season in the kalos tourament. Seems like I'll be focusing my win there. Im already the johto champ, so i guess I can take this slow. Beat the comption one by one
Ash: what do you think the chances of sun recovering from that battle you had last night? I hope he's out and retiring.
Swift: than your wish shall be granted. Because i think i broke sun and his lycanroc. There will be no one strong enough to stop me now. Now, if you excuse me, i have a party to get ready for tonight. After that I need to train. No more questions.
Ash: that was swift Austin ladies and gentlemen. Toon in next time in kalos where some tournament will be taken place. Come on come all.
The TV than turns off.
There was silence for a little bit. Connor was the one watching t.v. and was shocked that he woke up to this kind of news. He than sees Delilahs charging phone buzz. He picks it up and his face soon turned pale.
