| New Region, New Team! |
This would be more exciting news if the Elite Four was challenged regularly but as it turns out few make it past Will so there's little reason for me to spend much time at Indigo Plateau at all. In point of fact, Lance is staying on to continue to meet challenges as he is still by rights the Elite Four Champion for the Kanto Region.
I thought about hanging it up at that juncture, and retiring myself from the league. After all, breeding is certainly time consuming enough an occupation that I do not need additional challenges. Having said that, however, orders are thin on the ground, and for myself there is no need.
Therefore, I have resolved that yes, in fact, we will be challenging the Kanto Regional League! My good friend Professor Elm has furnished me with a ticket to travel upon the SS Aqua - ocean travel is a pleasure of mine - and once I make landfall in Vermilion City, we'll come up with a plan from there.
Before I go, however, it is my duty as host to introduce our latest team: Alexis the Rhyhorn, whose stubborn and quirky nature belie a certain amount of rock-headedness; Rowena the Murkrow, whose insomniac tendencies are likely to drive us all mad; Noel the Nidorino, an impish sort we aught not to pet because of his poison point; Vixen the Vulpix, who is brave if not somewhat drowsy; Tobi the Seel, who is (like most members of his species) calm and retiring, and, finally; Pitcher the Weepinbell, whom I met outside Violet City all those long years ago.
Now, there's still some preparation left to do. I'm awaiting the delivery of several cases of MooMoo Milk, I have an order to place from my herbal medicine supplier, there's still a few kinks to work out in the training regimen, and, above all concerns, I'm not 100% sure everyone is ready yet, including myself.
