(RPJ)Chapter 342: Current events
🕑 Added 2025-05-09 15:01:15 +0000 UTCLittle did I realize just what sort of trouble awaited me as I reconnected my devices to the signals of the league. Immediately I got dozens of messages, invitations and warning in my inbox while an alarm was tripped in the leagues online servers since my profile had been tagged under close observation after I seemed to drop off the face of the planet. My accessing of it tripped this flag sending an alarm out to those that keep an eye on that sort of thing. Not that I knew this at that moment but learnt of it shortly afterwards when Birch told me.-
I mean I can't really blame the league for doing it either as I too would be concerned if someone like myself were to completely vanish from the grid for a prolonged period of time. There was only about a handful or two of champion level trainers so when one of them disappears without any dust getting kicked up at all many in the league got nervous. Even worse was that my pokemon who had been wandering Sinnoh and the seas around it for the last two years had grown so powerful that not even a champion could handle them without serious sacrifice.-
Hell even a part of the underground had been labeled restricted by the league after Gaia took up residence there. Not because she was hostile since she frankly couldn't care less so long as she was left alone but because her power alone made her a threat just to be near. It certainly hadn't helped that she had mated with a royal shiny variant Garchomp male that had found her during the last two years and produced no less than three eggs that had hatched out powerful variant Larvitars.-
As some particularly unlucky poachers who got greedy at this information discovered Gaia was not kind to those with ill intentions for her offspring before they left the nest so to speak. That doesn't even begin to include the dad who stuck around as well and was permanently put on babysitting duty. Gaia wasn't the only member of my pokemon to carve out a territory either as Aranyani had also done so though it should be noted that her territory was the opposite of Gaia's in that all were welcome so long as they remained peaceful.-
Yani had set up shop in the small forest next to Sandgem town that many had dubbed "healers grove" as she had taught many of the grass type pokemon there her custom made healing moves. Over the last two years the place had gotten a sort of reputation as the neutral territory of choice for injured or peaceful pokemon where no hostility was allowed. In a not very surprising move the Joy clan themselves had pushed to have the place labeled protected much like the safari zones in each region. The place was the dream for most of the Joy clan so nobody was all that caught off guard by this.-
Cratos mostly resided in this place during these two years though obviously left to train occasionally. He had managed to reach the peak of Ace level but simply couldn't break into elite territory due to his inability to evolve naturally as his species normally would by now. That said the league had labeled him elite level strictly because of the sheer variety of moves he had and the mastery he held over them. Within the ace level he was the highest pinnacle that should be possible and that let him close the gap even if he wasn't actually at elite level.-
Vulcan had taken on the usual path of an Entei and wandered the land challenging any it could find that held a certain level of power, pokemon or human made no difference. It didn't have a habit of crippling or killing it's opponents though so the league kept a watchful eye on it but otherwise didn't interfere. Rune and Tank worked similarly to Vulcan with both spoiling for fights with any that they could. The league seemed to have a massive headache with these two, especially Tank. -
While most trainers understood that there was no weak types the bug type had a reputation for the pokemon that held it being lackluster at best. Tanks existence as a beyond champion level pokemon had caused serious surges in the popularity of the type as many sought to replicate that power. Eventually most of these attempts failed as the dumbasses realized it wasn't so easy and gave up. The problem came however in the form of what became of those "failed" bug type pokemon. More often than was comfortable the trainers who gave up on the idea released the pokemon who had already gotten trained back into the wild were they were caught upsetting the balance there.-
A few dozens across the globe was nothing too bad but hundreds? Thousands? This was a huge problem as it more or less threw out the wildernesses balance globally in those area causing whole regional areas to become chaotic as nature reshuffled the deck as it were. Some wanted to blame me for this but the problem was a matter of public opinion rather than anything you could directly point at as the source of the problem. Sure you could go and say it's Tanks and by extension my fault for being too powerful but that very idea was a joke.-
If being too strong was a problem that got fingers pointed at you in condemnation all it would accomplish would be to turn away good trainers from that path since they'd fear being persecuted for their power. The fact of the matter was that this was a flaw in the way the world worked that it was far too late to fix. Ironically Hades was entirely unaccounted for despite all this time so the league had no clue where or what it had been doing this whole time. This wasn't all that had happened in the last two years either as there was much more. This merely covered my pokemons impact on things.
