Jasmine, who saw Alex's list of Pokémon, showed a slightly bewildered expression when she saw the levels of Alex's Pokémon.

In the last few years, Kanto is the region with the strongest Elite Four, even though it doesn't have a Champion right now. And Jasmine was surprised that Alex was so weak as a Kanto rookie Champion. Even though he has 2 Elite Pokémon, both are only level 40, which was really disappointing.

Alex, who saw Jasmine's surprised expression with a slight disappointment, immediately understood what she was thinking and said with a smirk, "Disappointed that I am so weak?"

Jasmine apologetically smiled when she said, "No, I'm sorry. I was just surprised that you could win the Kanto Rookie tournament with that level."

Alex, who heard this, chuckled a little and said, "I'm much stronger now than I took part in the tournament. In the Kanto Rookie tournament, I defeated two trainers with Elite Pokémon without having one myself. To be honest, I am now many times stronger than before."

Although Alex usually wouldn't disclose the information before a fight, it didn't matter during a practice fight since winning is not the goal this time.

Jasmine was stunned this time when she heard this and started to ask how it happened.

Alex slowly told everything that happened at the tournament and how he won.

Jasmine had to reassess the strength of Alex after hearing this story. She suddenly felt that Alex is a very competent and powerful rookie Champion.

"Haha, Kanto is really to be envied. I wish that our region also had such strong trainers. Especially the situation of Elite Four is really a sad affair."

Johto, who hasn't had Bruno and Koga as an Elite Four yet, has actually weak Elite Four members. In addition, the Elite Four member Will is only 18 years old and not nearly as strong as many Elite Four members of other regions. Together with that, they do not have Lance as a Champion yet, so their region is weak compared to others right now.

They only have 2 weak old Elite Four trainers who have Pokémon that are too old to exhibit their peak strength. Also, they have an old Champion who is weaker than some Elite Four trainers from other regions.

Although not all trainers get weaker as they get old, most trainers and their Pokémon do.

Probably only Dragon and Ghost-type Pokémon have a long enough lifespan to not be affected by age much.

That is also the reason why trainers like Drake and Agatha do not lose strength with old Pokémon, but they rather get stronger instead. Although there are other types with long-lived Pokémon species, they are not as often present as these two Pokémon-types.

Only the Unova region is weaker with its 4 old and weak Elite Four members. Although Alder is a strong Champion, he cannot pull along a whole region on his own.

Unova is very weak right now, but Alex knows that soon a whole generation of strong Unova trainers will grow up and revive the region.

Alex, who played the games, knows that it's only a matter of few years before Unova is swarmed by very talented trainers.

Kanto, whose Elite Four member's strength is currently at its peak, is the strongest region even without a Champion.

Although Kanto does not have a Champion, Lance's strength alone is strong enough to defeat almost all other Champions from different regions.

But that's not the impressive thing about the strength of Kanto, but the fact that despite being so strong, Lance is still not strong enough to become Champion of Kanto.

To become Champion, Lance would have to defeat all other Elite Four members. But unfortunately, he cannot defeat Lorelei.

Although the type advantage shouldn't be such a critical factor influencing the result, Lorelei is only a bit weaker than Lance. And therefore, the type advantage is noticeable.

Kanto, with its 3 very strong Elite Four members and a ridiculously strong Lance, is at the top even without the presence of the Champion.

Alex, who also knows how strong Kanto's Gym leaders are (Koga, Giovanni, Sabrina, etc.), knows that Kanto probably right now has the strongest trainers. Especially when you know that Professor Samuel Oak, the Ex-Champion, is still a very strong trainer and is even stronger than Lance in spite of retiring.

Although Kanto is now incredibly strong, Alex knows that monsters like Steven and Cynthia will soon grow up as a trainer and strengthen their region.

Alex stopped thinking about it and said, "Let's not talk about this topic. We have nothing to do with it anyway. We are the future of our region in the end. Let's talk about which Pokémon should fight each other."

Jasmine nodded with a soft smile and said, "Yes, you are right."

...

After a few minutes, Alex and Jasmine decided which Pokémon should fight one another.

The first fight was Magneton v/s Combusken.

Although Jasmine suggested letting Magnemite fight against Combusken, Alex clearly told her that Combusken would easily win this fight even if she is 5 levels below.

Alex remembers how Torchic easily defeated an Ariados who was 7 or 8 levels higher than her with two hits. When you consider that Combusken now has even better base values, Alex doesn't think the Magnemite can survive even 1 [Overheat].

Only Magneton, with his own good attack value, has a chance of winning against Combusken.

I also have good news. i will upload 1 chapter every day for the next 5 days (counted today).
