Unexpected Presence!

The sun sat on the horizon—as if it was sinking and disappearing. All the while, the moon began to rise on the other side. Gan wanted to send out Scyther and give it a good look, but he decided to wait.

Bzz!

Jolteon continued its training while Gan watched as usual. Allura was present, she was also watching with great interest. She was going to train her Pokemon in the future as well, after all, Allura had to resources to make it happen.

"That's enough for today, you can all come over to eat and drink." Gan clapped his hands once and called everyone involved over.

Charmander, Vaporeon, Machoke, Vulpix, Growlithe, Kadabra, and Horsea were involved in this training exercise. Allura helped with the food and water set up for Gan and her Pokemon to eat.

Gan took Horsea out of the pool and brought it over to feed while it sat in his arms and ate.

"So the first Gym Leader you fought was Brock?" Allura was curious about the Gyms, so she asked Gan more.

"Yes. I managed to win, but I lost to Misty recently and her Water-type Pokemon. I'm training up Jolteon to fight her in my rematch." Gan was feeling really confident this time around when it came to this rematch.

"Mhm! I heard from mom that Brock uses Rock types and that he is...a pervert." Allura's expression was a little weird when mentioning this.

"I wouldn't say he's a pervert, Brock just admires beauty, you can't knock a guy for that, right?" Gan shrugged his shoulder and disagreed.

"Admires beauty..." Allura whispered thoughtfully to herself before continuing in a normal tone. "Do you admire beauty?"

"I sure do." Gan smiled and said.

"Right! I'll definitely be a beautiful person in the future!" Allura said seriously; her expression was no different.

"Hmm...I'm sure you will, but you should focus on training for now." She was still a kid, so she had some ways to go before reaching 15; the legal age to start a journey.

After everyone was done eating, Gan recalled a few of them before bidding Allura goodnight. Gan went back to his guest house and fell asleep.

-Kanto's Indigo Plateau.

In the Indigo Plateau, many trainers flocked here to challenge the final trainers on their journey. This meant the Elite 4 before being crowned the Champion of the League.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to live up to those standards quite yet.

Inside a private room, many important and recognizable figures congregated to discuss a few matters. If Gan was here, he would recognize everyone present with just one gaze, and he'd even be shocked to see so many familiar faces in one place.

"Prof. Oak, it seems you really are adamant about this but are you willing to pay the price?" The one who spoke was none other than the Lance himself.

"Indeed, I have no problem with this, but I'm sure you know of the chaos our region is going through." Prof. Oak was still not happy about being robbed, he even had thoughts of upping Ghost Hand's bounty.

Bounty Hunters were already searching for him!

"I know this and Team Rocket has been a pain for years, but funding 3 organizations to handle criminals? Can you imagine the cost of supporting that many to take down a mere Team Rocket, it's a bit too much, don't you think?"

Lance didn't think it was such a good idea, this cost was too high for the League to handle such funds.

"He's right. We just can't support the cost of that right now. We're not being funded as much as the other regions, which actually have Champions. We essentially have an incomplete League, and people aren't willing to support Kanto with no clear backbone to it."

This was Bill, he could only sigh. There had been a few stabbings and thefts in Cerulean City. Misty was doing the best she could, she even caught a few Team Rocket members. She had help, of course, Team Rocket would deploy any underhanded means to win.

"I have a friend in Saffron City, and he runs a Dojo there, he may help." Bruno was also present, he was clearly referring to that Gym.

"...."

"...."

"...."

"Just me...? Okay...Just me." Bruno dropped the subject.

The room was silent for a moment before Prof. Oak started speaking again.

"I knew this would happen, so I contacted other researchers and a corporation whose willing to help." Prof. Oak's smile widened before he grabbed a remote and pointed toward a screen— turning it on.

On the screen, five sections appeared with five different people in them and a screen in the middle.

Those who appeared were Professor Elm, Professor Birch, Professor Rowan, and Joseph Stone the head of Devon Corporation!

Bill, Lance, and the other Elite 4 members were shocked. However, the fifth person to appear on the screen was the most shocking, it was Professor Willow!

Everyone turned to look at Prof. Oak, they all had dumbfounded expressions. If all these people were involved—supporting five teams wouldn't be a problem.

"Lance, you're still green. Did you really think I hadn't sorted everything out before coming here?" Prof. Oak smiled and said.

"Well, I certainly didn't expect this; well, prepared you are indeed, Prof. Oak." Lance nodded before sighing in relief.

"I'm willing to wholeheartedly support these teams. I have my fair share of problems here in Hoenn, but you guys only have to worry about 1 team." Joseph had more Gangs to worry about in Hoenn; it was a warzone over there in some places.

"Team Rocket has a strong presence here as well, I think you know that already. It's a bit scary to think that I might get robbed or beaten up." Prof. Elm adjusted his glasses and said. What he didn't know—was he was going to be robbed anyway in the future.

"As you know, we're dealing with Team Magma and Team Aqua. No one wants to get caught in between their fiasco. One wants to turn the world into a pure landscape, while the other wants the world to be filled with nothing but water."

Prof. Birch also wanted some form of order, these gangs were quite troublesome.

"I haven't heard much from Team Galactic, but I know they're lurking about. They're waiting to make a move, I just don't know when." It was quite quiet in Sinnoh, but every now and then—Team Galactic would do something outrageous.

"Prof. Oak, I'm sure you met my assistants. I recommend that they're responsible for each team created and its recruitment." Prof. Willow's tone was sincere, he had confidence and faith in his assistants.

"Assistants?" Lance narrowed his eyes before turning back to Prof. Oak.

"I came here with them, they're waiting outside as we speak. I took a trip over here the minute I called Willow about this whole situation," said Prof. Oak.

"Please, have them come in. Also, Oak, what about me and you, you know?" Agatha, who was silent this whole time—spoke up. She gave Prof. Oak a wink and his face turned pale.

Afterward, the assistants were called in.

And there they were.

Candela, Blanche, and Spark!

-Gan's Guest House.

The next day rolled around and Gan woke up and got ready as usual. Today was the big day, it was the day of the Auction.

Gan went to the residence and told them that he was leaving.

"Gan, please come again in the future. We had a great time with you around, and most importantly, my daughter had the best time." Natalie said before bowing slightly. She was the happiest to see her daughter having a good time.

"Oh, no, no, it's fine! I'm glad you guys took me in through these chaotic times we're in right now." Gan hurriedly said.

"In any case, please come again, at least before you leave the region." Natalie smiled and they chatted a bit more before Gan took his leave.

Gan was escorted off the property, but not before receiving a vicious glare from Robert. He was waiting at the gates with a cold expression, he simply harrumphed and walked away.

"See ya, Robert." Gan waved at Robert with a smile, but to Robert, it seemed like an evil grin with ill intention. Robert's scalp tingled and he quickened his footsteps through the gate and back to the Roseworth residence.

Gan made sure to tell Natalie to say his goodbyes to Allura, who was still fast asleep.

"Alright, let's go eat some breakfast at a joint I discovered back then." Gan roamed the streets, there didn't seem to be much change. The police were still on standby, but the number of ranked trainers had increased.

Most were wearing Bronze Badges, so they might not be much of a threat individually. Gan even saw a few sketchy men walking around the city in groups.

"Bounty Hunters, they seemed to be looking for that Ghost Hands guys."

"Ha! They can try, there's no way he's going to reveal himself if he's still around the city."

"Man, I really can't believe this guy robbed Prof. Oak! Now, I can't go anywhere without the cops asking me where I've been. Next thing you know, they'll be asking what time I took a dump last, haha!"

"Bounty Hunters?" Gan frowned. Things were advancing in the serious department now!

'They won't find out it's me anyway, I'll just go finish what I was planning to do.' Gan sneered in his heart. They would never gather evidence proving that he had done any crime.

Gan silently continued on his way.
