As Ash and his companions journey towards Otem Town, he finds himself engrossed in updates on his Rotom Phone, scouring for any news about the traitors. Misty, having joined her sisters in mesmerizing water performances, has made her gym renowned throughout Kanto for its unique charm. Meanwhile, Brock has flourished into a widely respected doctor, offering aid to anyone in need with his vast medical expertise.
May continues to hold the prestigious title of the Princess of Hoenn, admired for her grace and skill in Pokémon contests. Similarly, Dawn's talent shines bright, although both have faced near victories in Grand Festivals, falling just short in the Top 4 or Top 2 spots. Over in Unova, Iris maintains her reign as the undefeated Champion, unchallenged except by Ash, who, despite his prowess, declined the title in the end. Cilan, recognized for his refined taste and knowledge, was invited to undertake the S Rank Connoisseur test but opted to expand his expertise before accepting such a prestigious role.
Clemont's inventions have evolved to be safer, earning him a reputation as a reliable inventor whom many seek for innovative solutions. Mallow, Kiawe, Lana, and Sophocles thrive as Trial Captains, their trials influenced by Ash's guidance, even though the totems harbor disdain due to their past actions against Ash.
On another note, Trip has made notable strides in various Leagues, achieving Runner Up in Kanto and reaching the Top 8 in Johto, showcasing his growth and determination.
"Seems like they're all doing quite well," Ash reflects, "but one wonders how long their streak of good fortune will endure."
Meanwhile, Serena maintains her status as the esteemed Kalos Queen, yet her escalating fame has led her to prioritize her public image over her friendships. This shift in her attitude, particularly her willingness to criticize Ash on public platforms, doesn't sit well with Alice, who harbors a deep dislike for such behavior.
Outside of their respective regions, Ash's close friends and rivals are also making significant strides. Goh remains dedicated to his Mew Project but occasionally lends his expertise and support to Ash and those who stand by him. Meanwhile, Ash's rivals have been thriving in their own journeys across different regions.
Now, the Champions and the Kalos Queen gather for a crucial meeting aboard a grand cruise ship, assembling their finest battlers or performers. Kanto's Champion Adam, whose surname remains a mystery, selects Gary Oak and the skilled trainer Leaf Green. Johto's Champion Lance opts for Ethan and the determined Lyra. Hoenn's Champion Steven Stone enlists the powerful Brandon and the enigmatic Zinnia. Sinnoh's Champion Cynthia partners with the formidable Paul and the capable Akari. Unova's Champion Iris allies with the accomplished Trip and the spirited Bianca. Kalos's Champion Diantha chooses the fierce Alain and the resourceful Bonnie. Alola's Champion Lillie picks the steadfast Gladion and the talented Selene. Galar's Champion Leon teams up with the spirited Hop and the determined Gloria. Paldea's Champion Geeta selects the dynamic duo of Nemona and Arven. Finally, the Kalos Queen Serena chooses the experienced May and the determined Dawn to join her ranks.
During this meeting, alliances are drawn, with Adam, Lance, Diantha, and Lillie aligning themselves with Ash, while the rest take opposing stances. It's important to note that the trainers chosen by the Champions aren't necessarily aligned with their respective Champion's position, as seen with Paul.
As the meeting progresses, Goodshow enters the room, bringing news from the Sevestar Region provided by Professor Chloe. Present in the meeting are all the Champions, Elite Four members, and Kalos Queen Serena. The remaining trainers chosen by the Champions are with their friends, as they are not part of the official meeting proceedings.
"So are these people powerful?" Sidney raises his hand and asks, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
"All I can say is that you can never imagine the extent of their power, especially that of the Champion," Goodshow responds, his words causing a collective shudder among the audience at the meeting.
