The next morning has risen, and the Champions, namely Delia, Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Alder, Diantha, and Geeta are sitting on their own seats in the meeting room as Goodshow is facing backward toward them in deep thoughts. Diantha looks around and asks, "Why aren't Ash and Lillie here? Where exactly are they?"

Goodshow turns around and faces them, he says, "They seem to have some business in the Galar Region. Since I don't have any control of that region, I don't know what they are doing right now. But we heard that Ash and Lillie are going to bring Leon here so it will be our first meeting.

"And does anyone know who owns RPA? We know that the former owner of the Macro Cosmos is Chairman Rose, who has been sent to prison because of his actions regarding the Darkest Day." Lance says, but Geeta elbows him and he says, "His sister is here, can't you see the situation?"

Lance notices that Delia is not happy and he frowns, "I am sorry, Delia..."

"It is fine." Delia says, "I know you are not meant to mention it."

"And her daughter Elena takes over as the acting-Chairwoman." Cynthia says, then they notice Mr. Goodshow not saying anything, Alder asks, "Goodshow, did you know the owner of the RPA?"

"I do not know. I have been trying to contact them, but in vain." Goodshow says. "But the only thing we know is that there are two of them and they have also established the department stores in each region's largest city, namely Viridian, Goldenrod, Mauville, Hearthome, Castelia, Lumiose, Hau'oli, Wyndon, and Mesagoza cities."

"We know." Steven says. "And I can tell that they sure attract a lot of customers. Their business might be also surpassing my company as well."

"Did we miss something?" Just then, Ash, Lillie, and Leon walk into the room and Delia says, "Ash and Lillie, it sure takes you much longer to come here, huh?"

"We are very sorry for the lateness since we have been having some meetings with the Galar Region's Gym Leaders." Ash says as he turns to Leon, "And I will like you to meet the former Champion of the Galar Region, Leon."

"It is nice to meet you." Diantha says as the other Champions are doing the same.

"I am happy to be here." Leon says with a smile. "As you can see. We have been trying to achieve a very serious goal that has been plaguing us for a long time. So we come here late."

"And what goal is it?" Steven asks, "Can we know about it as well?"

Ash takes a deep breath, and says, "Before I do that, let me check something." Ash says as he uses his aura to contact Gabena, who is in the sky watching over the building.

"Are there any signs of Jessie, James, and Meowth?" Ash asks.

"No, they still might be in the Galar Region." Gabena says and Ash nods.

"Thank you, but keep watching, we have to make sure that we aren't watched by the others." Ash says as he turns to the others, "As you can see, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, Team Flare, and even Team Skull are gone. It may be beneficial to everyone's lives, but it is also beneficial for one specific evil group as well."

"Wait, you don't mean..." Lance widens his eyes and Lillie says, "Yes, the group we are talking about is no other than Team Rocket. I am sure you all are aware of this, right?"

"We do. They have been trying to capture Meloetta back in the Unova Region, right? Alder?" Cynthia asks as she turns to the Champion, who nods and says, "Indeed. They have been causing a big mess and I hated it."

"Not to mention that with those three members, they have been giving information about the other regions to their boss." Lance says. "We still haven't found out where their leader is hiding."

Lillie says, "Yes. And with the resources of Macro Cosmos and the RPA Companies, we found out that Chairman Rose didn't bring out the Darkest Day to destroy the Galar Region. It is those three members that disguise them to do those."

This causes the others to look at each other. Goodshow asks, "And you have any proof about that? How are you going to show the police that he is innocent?"

Ash turns to his mother, who nods, and then she shows the pictures and the evidence. Goodshow asks, "Where did you get those pictures? Delia?"

Delia says, "Rose is my brother after all. When I heard of this stuff, I won't believe that a person like him will do something as dangerous as the darkest day. That is why we take some actions with the help of two companies."

Goodshow says, "I see, so what are you going to do?"

"The RPA presidents are going to have an event in the Galar hall so that those three will be blinded into greed. And when they are captured, we will try finding their hideout using the Auras and then destroy their bases." Ash says.

"So does that mean you know the owners of the RPA?" Geeta asks, hoping that the two of them can provide some clues about them.

Ash and Lillie freeze a little as they are thinking about something. Lillie says, "Well, I am sure they will like to keep their identity a secret."

"Yeah." Ash says as he decides to change the topic. "So how did your meeting go?"

"We are just talking about the Galar Region and the Paldea Region." Goodshow takes a deep breath, "Since we have no control over that two regions along with the Alola Region, Ms. Getta here also told us about their Star Training Centers and the Gyms. Leon, can you tell us everything about your region?"

Leon says, "I can't reveal everything. But I can tell you some. You see, our gym challenge is very different from yours, you need an endorsement to participate in the league. Not only that, we require trainers wear special uniforms for the gym battles as well as the opening ceremony."

"Uniforms?" Cynthia asks. Ash then shows the uniforms on the computer and then he says, "These are the gym uniforms, there are 1 for each type, we have a set of 18 gym leaders, but they have to take turns as there are only 8 gym stadiums."

Lillie takes out a gold medal and says, "This is the badge, but it will be split into 8 pieces, one piece in one gym and you need to gather 8 of them. It is until after 8th gym that you can proceed to challenge the league."

"That sounds like it is the same as the others." Diantha mutters.

Leon says, "We don't have an Elite 4, but we will let the League winner face the master tournament, which the gym leaders will also join in for the order. You have to win your opponents to face me in a battle."

"So what is the order? Can you tell us about it?" Alder asks.

"The order is not the same every year." Ash says, "The current order is Grass, Water, Fire, Ghost, Fairy, Ice, Dark, and Dragon."

"So you guys not only have the first Poison Type Legendary Pokemon, but you also have the first Dark Type Gym?"

"Of course, and the whole Galar is also big as well. There is a place known as the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra, and they also have a lot of Pokemon roaming around."

"I see... It sure is different from the other regions..." Steven says. "Now what about the Alola Region?"

Ash says, "I'll explain this since I'm the Champion of Alola. We don't have gym battles, but we have trials. There are four islands and each island has a Kahuna who gives out the Grand Trials. Just like the gyms, there are some tests that need to do before getting to the trials: And we call them the normal trials."

"What's the difference between them?" Cynthia asks.

"The normal Trials are being watched by the Trial Captains that we picked." Ash says. "But you're not battling them. Instead, you're battling a special kind of wild Pokemon known as the Totem Pokemon. They have sizes that are 3 times bigger than normal Pokemon, and they will call out their allies during the middle of the battle."

"That sounds quite tough." Lance says.

"Indeed. There are a total of 8 trials and 4 grand trials. The rewards of each trial are Z Crystals, which activate Z Moves. The League entry is to get at least 12 Z Crystals." Ash says.

"But if there is one type for each Z Crystal, then what about the other 6? Where are we going to find them?" Diantha asks.

Lillie says, "That's a good question. They are hiding in the Alola Region. Those who really want to get it will have to find them on their own."

The others nod in agreement as Goodshow says, "Now about the Team Rocket problem. I am sure that you all have heard the plan, but are there any questions?"

Lance says, "I have one. According to the International Police, they have found 18 bases scattered around the 9 regions. Delia, as the head of the International Police, what do you think about this?"

Delia says, "Those 18 bases aren't there anymore. 5 years ago, the International Police and the Macro Cosmos Company have begun operation Malfunction. An Operation that raids the bases and arrests the people inside. However, Team Rocket created 18 cyborgs and they also killed some of our members."

"Cyborgs? You mean those half human half robot beings?" Geeta asks with surprise.

Ash says, "Let me explain this. Each of the Cyborg doesn't have their own Pokemon, they instead use their machinery to use Pokemon moves. So we have to treat them as Pokemon when battling. But once they faint... their machines will go haywire and eventually kill the users along with it."

"You mean to kill?" This causes the Champions to be alarmed. Lillie says, "There is a base located at Glaseado Mountain with the Cyborg specializing in Ghost Type. Once we defeat her, we saw zombies crawling out from the tombstones and devouring her like the horror movies... I could never forget that terrifying thing and it has been my nightmare for a month since then."

"So does that mean you get rid of all the cyborgs?" Goodshow asks.

"One has escaped, and it is the Dark Type one." Ash sighs, "But we also secured the base, so he won't be returning there."

"So what actually happened to the bases once you finish raiding?" Steven asks.

"Don't worry, we manage to recreate the interior and the other stuff so that Team Rocket won't be able to get them back." Ash says. "But by doing this, both our family and the Aether Family have become their primary targets."

"I'm sorry to hear that. It must be horrible for you..." Leon says.

"Don't worry." Lillie says.

After no more questions, Goodshow says, "Good, Ash and Lillie since you two know the owners of the RPA, can you tell them that we agree with their plan of trapping the Team Rocket trio?"

"Of course. We will make sure that they get the message." Ash says as they continue to talk in the meeting.

After the meeting is over, they take the plane and return to the Galar Region as they are going to prepare their plan for capturing the Team Rocket notorious trio.

Here is another new chapter, and this time Ash and Lillie have attended the meeting as the Champions for the plan of Team Rocket, and the next chapter will be executing the plan.
