"What? Such a thing happened?!" At the Indigo Plateau, the Kanto League headquarters, Agatha, who was on duty, abruptly stood up after hearing the report. Her face changed drastically. "Didn't the Rampur City Chief say that the Tentacruel Clan had been settled?"
"Sorry, Master Agatha, we don't know..."
The League's mid-level staff member's face was also very pale, and he was even a little horrified.
This matter was likely to affect some middle-level people at the headquarters, even high-level personnel. After all, a Pokémon siege...
This hadn't happened since the League was established 20 years ago.
"Damn it!" Agatha stomped on the ground with her cane. She didn't expect such a big mistake to occur. It seemed that the Kanto League was indeed a bit corrupt; otherwise, how could such a thing happen?
The Elite Four also knew about this matter. The Rampur City Chief had initially stated that they would settle the Tentacruel tribe living in the coral reefs. Later, they had even sent people to Rampur City to investigate and received feedback that the situation had indeed been resolved.
As a result, such a thing had happened now. It was clear what had transpired; the League's middle level, and even some high-level people, had problems!
After the matter was over, such a group of people must be cleaned up, but the most important thing now was to resolve Rampur City's crisis.
"Notify the other three Elite Four members that I want to conduct a video conference!" Agatha said to the staff member beside her without hesitation.
"Yes!"
After a while, three virtual screens appeared to Agatha's left, center, and right. The people on the screens were the other three Elite Four members.
"You should already know the situation. Whoever is near Rampur City, please rush there immediately!" Agatha said directly, without any nonsense.
"I'm dealing with some matters in the Johto Region now..." lance said, with some headaches. He also held the positions of Kanto Elite Four and Johto Champion, and the matters to be handled were truly numerous.
"I'm inside Cerulean Cave, look..." Bruno stepped aside a little so the camera could see behind him, and he was indeed in a cave.
"I have no way to rush there quickly. I'm in the Orange Islands..." Lorelei's face was also very solemn. This week happened to be her turn to take a vacation, so she went to the Orange Islands to rest and relax. Unexpectedly, such an incident had occurred, making her unable to even return.
Hearing the three people's replies, Agatha sighed deeply. She had already realized the difficulty of not having a Champion, and the occurrence of this incident gave her a deeper understanding that the Kanto Region truly needed a Champion.
If there was a Champion, it would be impossible for Bruno to go to Cerulean Cave. Even if Lorelei went on vacation, she probably wouldn't go that far away. It would also be impossible for Du to continue as Kanto's Elite Four; he would be replaced with another person.
No one could be convincing. Neither Watanabe, Bruno, Lorelei, nor the aging Agatha were qualified to be the Champion of the Kanto Region.
Bruno refused to accept Du. He thought, "You're a Champion of the Johto Region, serving as Kanto's Elite Four, but you still want to be the Champion? And your strength isn't strong enough to convince me."
Agatha couldn't convince them either. Although Agatha was the oldest, had the most seniority, and was close to the Champion level, lance believed that, as the strongest Elite Four member, he should be the Champion. After all, he wanted to become the first two-region League Champion in history.
Only Lorelei didn't fight or grab; she just wanted to fulfill her duty as an Elite Four member. But because there was no Champion leader, she seemed a little laid-back.
"Then we can only issue the mission!" Agatha suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm..." lance and the other three had no objections. In this situation, they could only issue a mission and let the Trainers in Rampur City resist.
"As for the Rampur City Chief, withdraw him immediately, and demolish that sea hotel! From now on, no offshore buildings are allowed in the waters around Rampur City!" Agatha clenched her fists and ordered the League staff member beside her.
"Yes!" The League personnel nodded, but he knew that this matter wouldn't end there. Removing the Rampur City Chief alone couldn't appease the Elite Four's rage, nor would it appease the masses who knew about it.
He also felt very angry with the people who went to investigate. Why would they do such a thing? He really couldn't figure it out.
"Is it right to call the Trainers to meet the task..." In the Rampur City police station, Officer Jenny frowned slightly after receiving the reply, but there was no other way. In the current situation, the only option was to call the Trainers to cope with the situation.
"Immediately arrest Chief Shi and Granny Yin, and issue an announcement to all of Rampur to summon Trainers. The task level is A!" Officer Jenny issued an order to her subordinates.
"Yes!"
All personnel began to act. More than a dozen police officers were dispatched, found the Chief in the Chief's house, and arrested him. In addition, several police officers also arrested Granny Yin.
The alarm sounded in Rampur City's sky, and people who didn't know what had happened stayed in place, panicked. This was the first time they had experienced such a thing.
"Rampur will enter a Level 1 Security Alert. Please enter a nearby building. Repeat, Rampur will enter a Level 1 Security Alert...."
Whether it was Rampur's radio or television, they were converted to announcements one after another, and police officers also went to various places to maintain order.
People who heard the notice were naturally panicked, especially ordinary people who were not Trainers.
"Although I already know what happened, I still feel nervous and terrified..." Misty held onto Ash's clothes tightly. No one had ever experienced this kind of thing, only seen it in history books.
Ash and his group hid in a shop next to Yumachi Wharf. There were more than ten people with them. They were far more nervous and panicked than Misty.
"It's okay, trust me!" Ash held Misty's hand in return. Her cold little hand let Ash understand that Misty's heart wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"Recruiting missions are now issued!" A few minutes later, the streets seemed to have been emptied of people. Officer Jenny's voice sounded, "The mission level is A. Trainers who are willing to carry out the mission, please gather at Yumachi Wharf!"
"It's not necessary to go, but whether the task is completed or not, the League will eventually reward you!" Officer Jenny also knew that it was impossible to force all Trainers to participate in the defense, and the League didn't advocate such an approach.
"I'll go!" Ash stood up without hesitation. A-level missions were life-threatening missions, and the rewards were also very generous, but even if there was no reward, Ash was willing to participate in this mission.
"I'm going too!" Misty stood up, and Brock was no exception. But Ash shook his head at them both, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Don't forget, I'm the chosen 'Rainbow Warrior'!"
Because there were other people present, Ash wasn't suitable to speak too clearly, but Misty and Brock understood what it meant. Thinking of MaDonna's power, which even the giant Dragonite feared, they felt relieved, but they still wanted to contribute.
Seeing this, Ash didn't continue to persuade them. They both knew that this mission might kill them, but if they hid, they wouldn't be Misty and Brock!
