The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

After the thunderous applause and cheers subsided, Xiaozhi continued,

"After all, there has never been a Pokémon League in the Alola region before, so some viewers may not know what the Pokémon League is. Let me explain."

The Pokémon League is divided into the League Headquarters and regional leagues.

Today, I am here on behalf of the League headquarters to attend the founding ceremony of the Alola League.

Currently, apart from the Alola region, other regions have long since established their own Pokémon Leagues.

They are located in the northwestern part of the following regions: the Indigo Plateau in the Kanto region, Mt. Silver in the Johto region, Souyou City in the Hoenn region, Lily of the Valley in the Sinnoh region, Hinoki City in the Unova region, Luna City in the Kalos region, Mon City in the Galar region, and Tabletop City in the Padilla region.

Our alliance headquarters is also located on the Quartz Plateau in the Kanto region.

That is the headquarters of the Pokémon League, the highest authority in the Pokémon world.

The Pokémon League is located there and is also known as the pinnacle of Pokémon trainers.

This is a sacred place where those who aspire to become the ultimate trainers gather after a long and arduous journey.

Only trainers who have conquered more than eight gyms are eligible to enter.

That's right, in other regions, there are challenges similar to island treks, namely gym challenges.

Every trainer aiming for the Pokémon League must travel to various gyms and obtain eight or more badges before the League's tournament to qualify for the competition.

Gym Leaders are powerful figures similar to the King and Queen of an island.

After successfully collecting eight gym badges, you can participate in the tournament held by the local league.

Trainers who win the tournament will be awarded the title of Tournament Champion and will be eligible to enter the Hall of Fame of the local league.

And they gained the right to challenge the local Pokémon League.

Each Pokémon League has four powerful members, known as the Elite Four.

When you defeat all strong men with courage and wisdom,

You can then reach the top, where the strongest trainer, the regional champion of the league, resides.

The challenger can take their place by defeating either the Four Heavenly Kings or the champion.

Therefore, the leagues in various regions have gathered the strongest Pokémon trainers in their respective areas.

Our league headquarters is home to some of the strongest Pokémon trainers from all over the world.

In conclusion, the Pokémon League is a grand event exclusively for the strong, a prestigious competition to select outstanding trainers and improve the overall battle level of a region.

Let's use this first Alola League tournament as an example.

Let's show those who think our Alola League is some backwater league!

We people from the Alola region are no less capable than people from other regions!!!

As soon as Ash finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause once again, with cheers and shouts of excitement lasting for a long time.

Xiao Zhi smiled and added at the end,

"By the way, I'll also be participating."

These words immediately froze the smiles on many people's faces. After all, with this six-time champion participating, wouldn't they be one step further away from becoming the first Alola champion?

"Alright, since this is a newly established Pokémon League, it can't be an empty shell."

Besides the Alora League headquarters and Manaro Stadium built on the summit of Mount Ranakira.

After discussion, we have also finalized the selection of the Alola League's Elite Four. Please watch the video!

Following the direction Ash pointed, everyone turned their attention back to the large screen on the stage.

But to everyone's surprise, what appeared on the big screen was a video recording made by six people.

"I believe everyone has some doubts."

Now, let me introduce these six top trainers from the Alola region.

First, there is Mr. Marin, the former steel division captain at the Huilani Observatory on Ula Ula Island.

He is also the current director of the Hwclani Observatory, a highly capable individual, and has been appointed as the Steel-type Uranus.

Secondly, there's Miss Liz, the current Queen of Akala Island. Despite her young age, she already possesses exceptional strength, and her appointment as the Rock-type Elite Four member...

Next up is Miss Acerola, the current Ghost-type captain at the former site of the Value Supermarket on Ula Ula Island.

Although she appears young, she is a descendant of the Alora royal family, and her father is the owner of the Mariès Library.

She possesses both beauty and a vast knowledge of Pokémon, making her a formidable battle champion. Her appointment as the Ghost-type Elite Four member is a significant achievement.

Finally, there's Ms. Kashiri, who is best known as a world-class golfer.

But few people know that her Pokémon battle skills are also extremely high.

Having won the title of champion in the island trekking competition, he embarked on his wandering journey in order to conquer the world.

His father is also the owner of the Haonohaono Resort on Akala Island, and this time he has been appointed as the King of the Flying Series.

Above these four Heavenly Kings, we have also set up a champion witness.

He is Mr. Hala, the current King of Melemele Island, a powerful and experienced trainer with top-tier strength in the Alola region, and a highly respected figure. He has been invited to serve as the witness for the Fighting-type champion.

Lastly, regarding the first regional champion of the Alola League, we'll tentatively name him Royal Masked Man.

As for the specific candidate, we have decided that the inaugural champion who won the Manalo Conference will battle against the Royal Masked Man, and the winner will become the inaugural regional champion of the Alola region.

Therefore, for those who aspire to become the first Alola champion, the road ahead is fraught with difficulties.

Not only must they overcome numerous competitors at the Manalo Tournament to win the championship, but they must also defeat four of the Four Heavenly Kings, a witness to the championship, and a champion candidate, the Royal Masked Man.

In conclusion, keep striving forward, you talented and ambitious trainers!

Together with your respective Pokémon, stand atop the peak that belongs only to you!!!

Xiao Zhi's impassioned words reignited the enthusiasm of everyone in the venue, watching on television, and in the official live broadcast room who were interested in participating.

Before the competition even started, everyone was already thinking about what pose they should strike when they held the championship trophy at the awards ceremony.

Ash finished speaking, nodded slightly, and sat down, handing the stage back to Professor Kukui.
