Large numbers of cameramen clicked photos as Kanto Champion Professor Gunhildr walked to the stage with Mr. Psyc.
Mr. Psyc had gained some recognition due to being the assistant to Professor Gunhildr and being a strong Psychic like Sabrina and Agatha.
In reality, it was Mewtwo in his human transformation.
The entire hall was filled with famous professors like Oak, Carolina, Elm, Birch, Rowan, Juniper, etc.
Sitting at the front was Alfred, the current chairman of the Kanto League Alliance.
Even Aoki's girlfriends, Misty and Sabrina, were sitting at the back.
"Welcome to the annual Research conference, my fellow researchers.
I am Aoki Gunhildr, and I will be your lead host today."
Everyone clapped with excitement since Aoki was going to reveal something new.
Previously, all of Aoki's discoveries were related to evolution, but this time it was something different.
"Before I announce my discovery, let me show you something."
Aoki said, releasing two Pokemon: elite rank Clefable and Elite rank Wigglytuff.
"All of you have an energy reading device on your desk, please try reading the energy of these two Pokemon," Aoki said.
Almost every professor read the energy reading of the two Pokemon with shock visible on their faces.
"Shocking, right?
It was believed that Pokemon like Clefable and Wigglytuff had their growths stopped at master rank, but we have two elite rank Pokemon in front of us.
But wait, there is more…."
Aoki released a Houndoom and a Flygon on the stage.
"Everyone uses the second device on your desk, which reads the flow of energy."
Aoki looked at the two fairy-type Pokemon and asked them to use Misty Terrain.
Through the device, it could be seen that Flygon and Houndoom were releasing Dragon and Dark-type energies, which were being devoured by pink-colored power.
"Surprising, right?
There is a reason why these two Pokemon could grow even further and have power over the dragon and dark types…
Let me introduce you to a new Pokemon type… The Fairy type!!"
Aoki announced the release of his Sylveon.
Almost every researcher stood up from their seats in shock, while Professor Oak had a crazy smile.
This conference was being broadcast to the entire world, starting a huge storm.
"All of you must have a lot of questions, so let's clear them one by one.
The Pokemon in front of you is Sylveon, the fairy-type evolution of Eevee.
I shall reveal how to evolve Eevee into Sylveon at the end of this conference, but before that, we have much to discuss.
We all know that Pokemon grow stronger as they master how to control the energies in their bodies.
The reason why Clefable and Jigglypuff line never crossed master rank is that till now, we only treated them as Normal type Pokemon, completely neglecting their Fairy typing.
It's similar to the concept that an Ivysaur can't evolve into a Venusaur till it achieves a perfect balance between Grass and Poison types.
These are all the Pokemon that I have verified to have a Fairy typing," Aoki said as Mr. Psyc turned on the projector displaying almost all Fairy-type Pokemon up to the Alolan region.
"Now let's talk about the powers and weaknesses of Fairy-type Pokemon.
Fairy-type energies are super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting types, with their weakness being Steel and Poison types."
Aoki called out a Lucario and a Beedrill to display.
"One important fact to know is that Fairy types are immune to dragon-type moves."
Flygon used Dragon Breath on Clefable, but nothing happened to her.
Dragon-type Pokemon were considered the strongest types, but after this revelation, things were going to take a turn.
'As expected, Aoki managed to blow my expectations again,' Oak thought, raising his hand to ask a doubt.
For the next hour, one by one, Aoki cleared the doubts of everyone who had a doubt.
Mr. Psyc snapped his fingers as a book appeared on the tables of each professor.
"I have noted down all my discoveries about the fairy type and how I reached all the conclusions.
Going through this would clear your remaining doubts."
**************
Midnight:
Aoki sat by the swimming pool while Misty and Sabrina messed around in the pool.
It's been six months since Aoki became the Champion of the Kanto region, and a lot happened since then.
Lance, after being defeated, returned to rest in his hometown for a few months before challenging the Johto Elite Four and taking the spot of the empty champion.
Aoki helped Alfred in his election campaign, making him successfully climb to the position of the Kanto League Alliance.
Immediately after coming to power, Alfred introduced a large number of policies and rules.
Some of them were introducing an event almost every month for trainers, breeders, and groomers to participate and win prizes.
All these events attracted foreign trainers, increasing the income of the tourism sector.
Alfred also made sure more benefits were given to strong trainers so that they remain citizens of the Kanto region and don't settle elsewhere.
What increased the competition among the trainers was the introduction of the trainer ranking system.
Every Pokemon trainer registered under the Kanto League Alliance was given a rank based on which various benefits were given.
Trainers could increase their ranks by having strong Pokemon, earning gym badges, defeating strong trainers, or doing league missions.
Champion Aoki was ranked 1 while the Elite Four took the spots from 2 to 5. Gym leaders like Giovanni and Sabrina came under the top 10, while the rest came under the top 20 and 30.
This list revealed a lot of strong trainers who were not in the spotlight before.
Aoki and Alfred went into a partnership and created a Pokemon food using Aoki's food recipes, which was a huge hit globally increasing the flow of cash into Aoki's pockets and the league's treasury.
Aoki's name itself was a brand, but what made his company famous was the cheap price and high-quality Pokemon food the company sold. The league also made sure to advertise the company since they were profiting off it too.
Aoki also made sure to make himself even more famous by visiting every region and doing exhibition matches with gym leaders, the Elite Four of different regions, and even champions like Alder, setting himself as the strongest champion.
Since his paperwork was handled by a designated team, Aoki had the freedom to go anywhere and do what he pleased.
During this time, Aoki didn't search for any legendary Pokemon but let his Pokemon roam into different regions and recruit soldiers for his army.
Although Aoki never wanted to treat Pokemon like soldiers, but if he wants to confront Giratina, he would be needing a big army of Pokemon.
All of his Pokemon in both teams broke the champion rank threshold and stepped into a realm beyond level hundred.
He also trained a Garchomp, Metagross, Goodra, and Slaking who joined the earlier teams.
In terms of strength, Darkrai remained at the top, followed by Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal, Volcanion, and Articuno.
Ever since the fight between Aoki and Timaet, the world had changed.
News of Dragon and ghost Pokemon losing sanity could be heard almost every day, with the Sinnoh region having it the worst.
A hole opened up at the
top of Mount Coronet, releasing strange energy that was found to be the reason for the change in Dragon and Ghost types.
In actuality, it was a gate to the distorted world, which was releasing the energy of chaos into the real world.
Since it was exactly above the old Giratina's temple, people called it Giratina's curse.
Many researchers tried to investigate the hole in the sky but lost their lives due to the energy, so the entire Mt. Coronet was declared off-limits for everyone.
The war was coming closer, so many legendaries started waking up and showing themselves after hundreds of years.
With all of his targets achieved for the six months period, Aoki was now ready for the legendary hunt.
