Chapter 1053: Hall Of Fame And Rewards So, Yuga and Mr. Brandon stayed in Pacifidlog Town for a week, before the final decision regarding the Draconid People and the Meteor Village was made.
All the Draconid People who was involved in the cloning of Rayquaza will be imprisoned, and they won't be getting out for at least two or three decades, and even if they do, they won't be able to become Pokémon trainers.
Important figures like the old lady will probably spend their entire lives in prison.
As for those who were not involved, the elderly, women, and children will be forced to leave the Meteor Village and renounce their identity as Draconid People, registering as ordinary citizens in the League's registry system.
The Draconid People who have been living in seclusion have never been registered residents of the League, and they are no different from those undocumented people outside.
Getting rid of the Meteor Village this time has solved a major problem for the Hoenn League.
Lastly, regarding the decision on the Meteor Village, the League has no intention of leaving such a good place unused.
They have decided to establish a secret battle team training camp here, specifically to train outstanding young trainers in the League, which can be seen as an advanced version of the Junior Prep Camp.
The battle team training camp plan has been in preparation by the Hoenn League for a long time, but they couldn't decide where to build it before.
Now, with the ready-made Meteor Village, it's perfect.
As for the Pokémon in the Meteor Village, the League has decided to let them continue living here and will send specialized personnel for supervision.
The Hoenn League plans to turn the Meteor Village into a place similar to Mt. Silver in Johto.
In the future, when people from the League Headquarters brag about having a pseudo-legendary Dragonite, people from the Hoenn League will also be able to boast about having a pseudo-legendary Salamence.
During Yuga's stay in Pacifidlog Town, Steven also arrived.
He was the main person in charge of handling the Draconid People incident this time.
At this moment, Yuga, Steven, and Mr. Brandon are sitting in a room at the Pokémon Center.
Steven's visit this time is to inform Yuga and Mr. Brandon about the merits and rewards they have received in this Draconid People incident.
Mr. Brandon is not a member of the Hoenn League, so his reward will be sent to the League Headquarters by the Hoenn League, and then handed over to him by the League Headquarters.
Therefore, this time Steven is just verbally informing Mr. Brandon, mainly for Yuga's sake.
As the main hero of this Draconid People incident, Yuga has received a considerable amount of merits at once.
Coupled with the merits he had previously earned and the merits accumulated by the Innovation Potion, Yuga's trainer level in the League has skyrocketed to become a Hall of Fame trainer.
This is the highest honor for League trainers.
Steven and the other Elite Four members and Champions are at this level, which means that in the future, Yuga will enjoy the same status and treatment as the Elite Four and Champions within the Hoenn League.
The title of Hall of Fame Trainer is not specifically for the Elite Four, but because it is not easy to achieve, gradually, sometimes this title has become specifically for the Elite Four and Champions.
Each regional league division has only a few Hall of Fame trainers, apart from the Elite Four and the Champion.
You can count the others on one hand, and each of them is a prominent figure who has contributed significantly to the league.
Yuga's promotion to the Hall of Fame trainer this time is not only due to his significant contribution to the Draconid People incident but also primarily because of the promotion of the Innovation Potion.
The Innovation Potion is too important; it has epoch-making significance for trainers.
"Alright, that's all I have to say about your promotion to Hall of Fame trainer. Your name and statue will officially enter the Hall of Fame of the Hoenn League in a month, and at that time, the League will announce to the public your status as a Hall of Fame trainer," Steven said, looking at Yuga, who seemed a bit dazed.
Yuga hadn't expected to become a Hall of Fame trainer so quickly, and his name and statue would enter the Hall of Fame of the Hoenn League.
Doesn't this mean that he's going to reach the pinnacle of life?
It's really exciting!
Seeing Yuga's surprised expression, Steven also couldn't help but sigh.
He hadn't expected Yuga to become a Hall of Fame trainer so quickly.
If he hadn't become a Champion, he wouldn't have obtained the title of Hall of Fame trainer now and wouldn't have entered the Hall of Fame.
The Elite Four and the Champion of the league are the main faces of the league externally, so they require fewer merits to be promoted to Hall of Fame trainers compared to ordinary trainers, almost half as much.
Otherwise, even young people like Steven, who has been in the Prosecuor Bureau all along before becoming a Champion, would almost never be able to be promoted to Hall of Fame trainers.
Not only Steven, but they are all the same, including them, Yuga can be said to be the only one among the younger generation who has climbed to the position of Hall of Fame trainer solely by his own strength.
Although there is only one level of difference between Hall of Fame trainers and lower-ranking Honor trainers, in fact, this one-level difference is like a chasm.
Seeing Yuga's dazed expression for a bit too long, Steven knocked on the table to remind him, "Hey, hey, are you awake? I haven't finished what I was saying yet."
For Yuga's reaction, Mr. Brandon, who was on the side, was not surprised.
Wasn't he the same at the beginning?
Mr. Brandon is a Hall of Fame trainer at the League Headquarters.
Apart from the Elite Four and the Champion (including the former ones), there are only three Hall of Fame trainers alive at the League Headquarters: Professor Oak, the Chairman of the Headquarters, and Mr. Brandon.
(Note: The title of Hall of Fame trainer is a title level and is not directly related to the trainer's strength level.)
Mr. Brandon, as a well-known figure, relies not on his two legendary Pokemon Regirocks and Registeel but on his tangible merits.
Twenty years ago, the dark organization Team Rocket caused trouble in the Kanto region, and Mr. Brandon was one of the main forces in defeating Team Rocket.
It was also at that time that Mr. Brandon obtained the title of Hall of Fame trainer.
Now, the predecessor of the current Team Rocket in the Kanto and Johto regions is the Team Rocket from twenty years ago.
Initially, everyone thought that Team Rocket had been destroyed, but no one expected it to make a comeback later, becoming even more formidable and stubborn.
As Yuga regained his composure, he looked awkwardly at Steven and said, "Haha... Please continue, continue."
Steven sighed and said, "After becoming a Hall of Fame trainer, all resources in the league store will be available to you. You need to be mindful of this."
Not only will all resources be available to Yuga, but there will also be significant discounts, which are basic benefits for Hall of Fame trainers.
Yuga nodded. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind."
Steven continued, "Regarding your reward this time, the league isn't sure what to give you, so let me ask you directly what you want. Whatever you request and can be fulfilled, the league will try its best to satisfy you."
After becoming a Hall of Fame trainer, Yuga will no longer lack merit points and resources.
Moreover, Yuga himself is not short of money, so the league found it difficult to decide on Yuga's reward for a while.
This time, Yuga and Mr. Brandon not only resolved the Draconid People incident but also handed over two Master level, several Champion level, and Elite level Pokémon.
These Pokémon are very useful to the league, so the rewards Yuga and Mr. Brandon can receive are quite generous.
Those high level Pokémon are the spoils of war for Yuga and Mr. Brandon.
If they don't hand them over, no one can do anything about it.
Although the league prohibits the buying and selling of adult Pokémon, there are still many people who do so privately.
High- level Pokémon are very valuable.
Even if they cannot be used for training, they can be used for many other purposes.
So, the league will not be stingy with rewards for Yuga and Mr. Brandon, who handed over Pokémon. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yuga had no other requests at the moment.
Upon hearing Steven's words, he immediately said, "Then, please apply to the league for some Pokémon for me to use as breeding Pokémon!"
Hearing Yuga's request, Steven chuckled. "I knew you would make this request."
With that, he took out a piece of paper with a list of Pokémon names written densely on it.
"These are the Pokémon names I've prepared in advance that can be directly allocated to you. Take a look at which ones you need, and I'll apply for them on your behalf."
Yuga was pleasantly surprised to hear this; he hadn't expected Steven to be so considerate.
He took the list and said, "Thank you!"
Steven casually replied, "No need for verbal thanks; just don't refuse when I ask for your help in the future."
Yuga quickly scanned the list, contemplating what kind of Pokémon he should choose. Soon, he settled on his first target: Roserade and Roselia.
The Flabebe and Floette in Yuga's Ecopark were gradually growing up, and some had even evolved into Florges with Yuga's assistance.
Now, Yuga urgently wanted to find suitable mates for them.
Roserade and Roselia were perfect candidates.
"For the first one, I want Roserade and Roselia, adult Pokémon only. I don't need any Budews; around twenty should be enough," Yuga said to Steven without lifting his head.
Steven nodded in response. "Alright, I'll make a note of that."
Originally, the Spritzee in the Ecopark also needed mates, but ever since Yuga brought back a group of Pikachu from the Nameless Island, that problem had been solved.
Although most of the Pikachu originally had yellow potential, Yuga had managed to produce quite a few with green potential using the Innovation Potion.
Therefore, they were perfect mates for the Spritzee and Aromatise.
To facilitate the pairing of these two species, the Spritzee and Aromatise that used to live in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark and the Pikachu that lived in Oasis No. 2 had all been relocated to Oasis No. 1, where the Flygon used to reside.
As for the Litleo that entered the Ecopark with the Spritzee and Aromatise, Yuga didn't need to worry about finding mates for them.
Both the Houndoom family and the Ninetales family in the Volcano Sub-Ecopark were suitable matches for them.
For the second type of Pokémon, Yuga chose Meganium, which excelled in support among the Grass-type Trio Starter, making it a good choice.
Upon hearing Yuga's request for Meganium, Steven frowned and said, "These Meganium were sent by Johto to the Ever Grande City Day Care Center for breeding purposes.
There are only around ten of them. It might not be easy to apply for them."
Yuga smiled and replied, "Just do your best to negotiate for me. If we can't get them, it's fine."
Steven could only nod helplessly. "Alright, I'll try my best. But don't blame me if we can't get them."
Yuga waved his hand. "No worries, no worries."
For the final type, Yuga applied for over ten Scyther.
Although there were some Scyther in Yuga's Ecopark, there were only a few.
It would take a long time for them to reproduce enough to be sold.
Currently, the most abundant Bug-type Pokémon in the Insect Nest Sub-Ecopark were Beautifly, Dustox, and Combee.
They couldn't fully utilize the uniqueness of the Insect Nest Sub-Ecopark, so Yuga wanted to use Scyther to change the weak position of Bug-type Pokémon in the Ecopark.
Seeing Yuga choose Scyther again, Steven couldn't help but say, "You sure know how to pick them, making my job harder."
The more precious Pokémon Yuga chose, the more difficult it was for Steven to apply for them.
Yuga clasped his hands together and said, "Please, I appreciate it!"
With a stern face, Steven said, "I'll do my best, but don't forget to repay me!"
After finishing with Yuga's requests, Steven turned to Mr. Brandon and said, "Regarding Mr. Brandon's reward, we'll communicate with headquarters and if there are any grievances, Mr. Brandon can raise them with headquarters."
Mr. Brandon smiled faintly. "I understand."
"Oh, by the way! Do you know about the plan to change Meteor Village into a training camp?" Steven suddenly asked Yuga.
Yuga nodded. "I know a bit. Why?"
Steven replied, "I heard they plan to invite you to be a teacher at the training camp."
Yuga frowned at the suggestion. "Ah... No, thanks! I'm fine being a Gym Trainer. I can't handle being a teacher here."
Steven replied, "Alright, if you're not willing, I don't think they'll force you."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Brandon, would you like to come here and be a teacher? The treatment is very good, and we can also negotiate for you to be the camp leader at the training camp," Steven suddenly turned to Mr. Brandon sitting next to Yuga and asked.
Yuga: ...
Mr. Brandon: ...
Hey hey!!! You're blatantly poaching from headquarters! Steven, you've changed, you weren't like this before!
Yuga crazily criticized Steven in his mind.
He seriously doubted that Steven's invitation to the training camp just now wasn't for him but for Mr. Brandon.
Although Mr. Brandon's thoughts were exactly the same as Yuga's, he politely and gracefully declined, "I appreciate the kind offer from the Hoenn League, but I still prefer my work in archaeology and adventures."
Steven looked disappointed and regretful, "That's a pity. I thought there might be a chance to work with Mr. Brandon! I grew up listening to stories about Mr. Brandon."
Yuga felt like rolling his eyes upon hearing this. He felt like the Steven he used to know was a fake.
How could Steven have such thick skin?
He wasn't Wallace, after all.
Then Steven, Yuga, and Mr. Brandon chatted for a while, and the conversation eventually turned to the Level 100 Salamence in Meteor Village.
"Ah, we still don't know what to do with it," Steven sighed.
Since the Salamence woke up, it had been causing trouble.
As a last resort, Steven had locked it up again in that cave prison.
The Salamence was too powerful, and there was simply no way to control it for the time being. Steven was extremely frustrated about it.
"How about I go see it tomorrow?" Yuga suddenly suggested.
