ch 5 ( politics )

the pokeball became shiny and a beam of light came out of it which morphed into a pokemon .

it is a small, blue, canine pokemon  . It has a black torso and legs, a blue tail, and a yellow collar. It has rounded bumps on the backs of its forepaws. It has a black "mask" and red eyes. It stands on its toes instead of its entire foot.

he is sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura .

{ and for people who are disappointed why it is a riolu just read the whole chapter }

' a Riolu ' dio thought as he looked at riolu .

riolu after coming out of the pokeball stood on the table as he looked around to gather his new surroundings . he looked at dio for a moment then at the pokeball in his hand he understood what it meant as he looked at it for a few seconds , then he turned around towards grandpa sho and Elder Charles but his expression immediately switched he saw something that shocked and scared him so he

did what his instincts told him to do , riolu immediately jumped away from the table and stood on the fence of the balcony trying to create distance b/w them .

" you guys just had to scare him " dio said as he saw riolu's reaction to grandpa sho and Elder Charles. dio stood up from his chair to approach riolu . he stood in front of him a little distance away and extended his hand forward with his palm upward . riolu looked at dio then at his hand he understood the meaning but was hesitant a little . dio stood there not moving giving riolu time to become comfortable . they were taught all of this in the school on how to approach diffrent pokemons . finally after a minute of waiting riolu finally moved his paw forward touching dio's palm with his paw , he then sent an aura pulse right through his paw into dio's hand . after doing that he nodded his head toward dio and jumped down from the balcony . dio got back on his chair as riolu sat on the little stool beside him .

" its okay little guy i will protect you from these bad old men " dio said this in a scaristic manner because he knows this thing was there fault .

" you make it sound like we are some evil beings

that take pleasure in these things " granpa sho said as he understood what dio meant . but they do not have much control on it both of them are Aura users they can hide almost 60% of there energy but the rest remains active passively .

" who knows you guys might have secret fetishes" dio joked making Charles laugh and grandpa sho just shook his head not wanting to give any reply .

" but still I did not expect such a big reaction from him " grandpa sho said. he expected as riolu 's are sensitive to aura he might not react as other pokemon .

" well you can't blame him he has been raised by resechers from the start most of them are not trainers so there strength level is equal to a civilian and now suddenly he meets two people who just destroyed his reality completely, its like comparing a caterpie to a fully grown garchomp the comparison itself sounds ridiculous " dio said explaining the situation of how riolu felt and why he reacted like that .

" but I must ask why a riolu " dio asked to Elder Charles he did not except it to be a riolu .

" well I wanted to reward you with a dragon egg first not underming you little guy." he said looking at riolu as he continued " because of your contribution but I cannot you know of the cases that happened with dragon types in the past so the league has banned civilians from buying a dragon type and a pseudo legendary , this also applies to you as well as you have not become an official trainer yet " Charles explained because of the rule he could not give him a dragon type or a pseudo legendary. as for fairy types they are very rare to come by and kanto is not a home to many of them .

" is that all . " dio asked as his eyes became alot

more serious he knows there is more to this than he is being told .

" okay I will tell you first tell me what do you know about riolus why are they special " Charles asked dio .

" riolu is the only pokemon that can use aura far better than humans there hole being is centered around it , because of that they can precive emotions of a person very easily which makes them a great judge of character . also they can gauge a person's strength easily that's why he got anxious earlier " dio explained as he spoke all

that a realization hit him what his grandpa said earlier when they were coming here ' it is also a test ' he understood everything.

" i understand now why grandpa called this a test . you are trying to test my character and potential isn't it " dio asked . he is curious to know why Charles did all of this .

" it is as you said i wanted to test you . you should know how kanto used to be the biggest voice in the league the region with most power but now in the last decade things have changed the power of all the regions is mostly equal which i do not have a problem with but not all people in the Kanto league likes this "

{ to make it more clear every region has there own league/governing body and then there is a main league it is something simlar to UN. }

" all of this was fine until lance became the member of kanto elite four then lorelie did the same and kanto does not have anyone in the current generation that can stop him from becoming the next champion when Blue retires and do you understand the implications of that " Charles said a little frustrated with the situation at hand.

( history lesson)

johto and kanto has been fiercely fighting with each other for a more than a century because these two regions are the only ones that share a physical border with each other 57 years ago kanto defeated johto and made them a vassal becoming the strongest nations .they took over many small regions after that while the fighting b/w other regions was happening . As other regions were constantly becoming weak and kanto was a big threat looming over them they choose to form a piece treaty with each other and an alliance against kanto . then a major war occurred b/w the alliance ( unova , hoenn, sinnoh , kalos ) and kanto 49 years ago that caused major blows to both the alliance as well as kanto . 10 years after the war kanto established the league inviting the alliance to join and they complied not wanting another war . then the regions that kanto took over also wanted to have an independent voice in the league as well but only johto was permitted 15 years earlier by kanto league because they were becoming powerfull again and kanto league did not want a war with them as it would weaken there position . so jhoto league was established they choose there elite 4 and a champion but soon a terrorist organization emerged from jhoto named shadows and in just two years they became the biggest black organization that expanded themselves in all the regions and they started launching attacks in all regions creating chaos as johto was their root things here was the worst . jhoto league lost 3 members of there elite 4 and there champion in a secret attack by the shadows but they were able to eliminate a big part of there top command . although the power of the shadow organization lessened in jhoto but the jhoto league was unable to fight what was remaining of the organization and any other region would not help them as the shadow organization in there regions were still active .so jhoto league put forward a proposition to kanto that the elite four of both regions shall become same the champion could be different this would let kanto league some amount of control on them which would serve as an incentive for kanto league to help them and kanto league agreed shadow organization was eliminated from both the regions and things returned to normal . now jhoto league again wanted to separate the elite- 4 again but they could not say it as they were the ones who purposed it first so they didn't say anything . everything was going fine until lance became one of the elite-4 and soon after lorelie joined him ( lance and lorelie are people of jhoto)as there is currently no one who is strong enough in the young generation to stop lance from becoming the champion of kanto the intentions of jhoto league changed now they want him to succeed so they can gain control over kanto. kanto league has also saw through there intentions but if they purpose the separation of elite- 4 of both the regions then the Visage they have build of kanto being the strongest nation for over half a century will disappear and all other regions that are already suspicious of kanto getting weaker after this there suspicions would become concrete something that all the regions wants . and kanto will lose its position as the biggest voice holder in the league . and the small regions kanto rules over would either switch sides or rebel.

( end )

" johto will take over kanto and there are huge chances of war breaking out " dio said trying to summarize what elder Charles told . if lance becomes champion jhoto will take over and allot of kanto league members are not gonna like that there is over an 80 % chance these people will declare war on jhoto as now they have nothing else .

" that's why kanto league is desperate for young trainers with excellent potential they want someone who can emerge as a roadblock in front of lance and can stop him from becoming the champion " Charles explained . he and the league are desperate that's why everyone that shows just a little bit of good talent they will go after him .

" and you are placing there hopes on me " dio asked he was a little unsure about all of this .

" you are not the only one there are others as well

that the leaders of kanto are putting there bets on " Charles said underling the fact that dio is not super special . he just got in his eyes with a spark he created with the report .

" i have just turned 10 and I am alredy getting dragged into this political mess . I can't belive you agree grandpa nowing how mom will react "

dio said looking at grandpa sho he just did not expect something like this from him .

" sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and also you are already in people's eye as my grandson " grandpa sho said. even if dio did not wanted to be a part of all of this he would get dragged in as his grandson.

" that is also why I am here by myself and asked your grandpa to pre-register him for you if i did it the other leagues would have become nosey and your dad would have become aware of my intentions " Charles explained he hasn't informed anyone of his visit in Exter City nor he wants people of the kanto league and other regions to find out .

" you know I just turned 10 and you already expect me to stop a war . what a hassle " dio said as he leaned on his hair thinking of the mess he is in now .

" i think you know now everything you wanted ,

I have something I want to discuss with Charles you go and familrise yourself with riolu " grandpa sho said . dio stood up from his seat and left with riolu .

" do you think all of this was a good idea " Charles asked grandpa sho he was wondering if they have done the right thing by telling him all this .

" you know how desperate we are to stop this war . also this pressure was necessary for him to

grow as we can't protect him forever so either this will break him or make him and he is my grandson so I know he can do it " grandpa sho told Charles how necessary this pressure is for dio , also he has confidence in his grandson.

" yes for how much his life is at stake he needs to grow fast , I don't want to lose him like his mother " Charles said with a sad expression thinking about the past about his daughter .
