Exposition

Vulcan, Gaia, Rune, Yani, Tank and the not so little one all manifested in bursts of red light as they were released from their balls. Immediately the arena we were standing on became much more crowed and a sandstorm went to get kicked up because of Gaia's ability before she cut it off instantly. Byron and his Aggron looked over my team seriously and the Aggron that was pushing champion level at level one forty five even looked a bit nervous. I couldn't exactly blame it as even while at the elite level my pokemon were monstrously powerful.-

If I had to guess I'd even go as far as to say they could go toe to toe with a pokemon only ten levels weaker than this Aggron individually. Together though they could quite easily dismantle this Aggron and it knew it. Pokemon were usually quite keen about power levels and could understand roughly the gap between them in a single meeting with a few exceptions. This first exception is if a pokemon was hiding it's power in some way or another. The second was if the gap was too big.-

In the instant this occurred all the weaker pokemon would understand was that the other was WAY out of their league. In the exact opposite vein however the stronger pokemon would perceive the weaker as little more than an ant in terms of danger to themselves. It also helped that strong pokemon tended to project their power specifically so they could make it clear that this was their territory. The final exception was in the case of legendary pokemon that by virtue of their very nature appeared powerful even if they really weren't. Due to the very nature of a legendary pokemons existence they had a innate sense of suppression on other pokemon that weren't also legendries.-

My pokemon as a result were qualitatively superior than any of those trained the normal way. This wasn't bragging or showing off but a simple and pure fact. I'm not saying that the normal method is bad or even wrong but it was too limiting by design. I doubt it was intentional but by training repetition at the limit of what was thought possible that "limit" became a stopping point, a bottleneck if you would. It was a bit like when you exercised in the exact same way for a long period of time.-

While at some point your body would be able to easily complete your exercise it wouldn't be able to go past that point unless something changed. In this case the exercise's just increased in intensity but not in utilization which created a hard limit that was difficult to surpass. Byron looked surprised at my claim but didn't outright refute me because it was well documented that I very rarely lied. People had gone looking just so they could discredit me but even in the case where it would have harmed me to tell the truth I had.-

There were a few inconsistencies sometimes but most people chalked it up to me not wanting to tell the whole story rather than outright lying about something. One such inconsistency was a rather popular topic about myself, where the fuck did I come from. As far as the league records across the globe were concerned I simply didn't exist until I popped up at the foot of Mt. Gray nearly a year ago now. That wouldn't be strange since unregistered people while uncommon weren't unheard of. No the odd part came in when they went searching for anyone that could have known me before I showed up at the mountain.-

No one knew me or recognized me from before that time across the entire league controlled regions. Anyways as I said though it was well documented that I didn't really lie much. So Byron was surprised to hear what I said about my team. This also made him curious exactly how I trained my team. "I don't suppose you be willing to give me a hint would you?" he asked only to receive a blank stare. "I thought so." he said with a shrug.
