It has been a week since Team Mafia attacked camp. Kabu and the other two gym leaders decided that the train would be use as a camp instead of trying to camp in the forest again. There have been a few wild pokemon attacks that have been delt with swiftly.
The gym leaders have decided to hold a competition to help the trainers train for when the gym season starts again in April. That is two months from now and there will be no gym challenge except for the combined gym challenge the seventh and eight gym leaders are doing together. Kabu told everyone that the gym season will now end in November and December is when the championship will be held. The championship will be a month-long celebration to help boost people's moral.
The gym challenge itself has been extended to compensate for the fact that most transportation will still be out of order due to destruction. For example, Magi told everyone that the train tracks will take two months or more to be restored to working order. Also, that the competition will be a training session. Trainers will draw lots and go against each other in places that have secured by Peony for training purposes.
Each trainer will use their full team in a double battle against another trainer. It will six pokemon versus six pokemon. Peony has secured several different locations for the training session. We were all told that some battles will be held on land on in the water. Also, that the three finalists will be given three choices of Alolan starter pokemon eggs that will be given after the championship final match.
The winners will be given these eggs in Alola when Magi takes them there. The reason that the winners are not getting the eggs until after the gym season is because it will give the Alolan professor enough time to pick out eggs that can be given with special egg moves.
Magi stands on a box megaphone in hand," Now the rules of the training tournament are as followed. One no killing people because why would you do that. Two no cheating I will be watching and that will get you disqualified. Three have fun I guess while trying your best. Now go to the box over there to write your name on a card and drop it in." The whole time Magi looked bored until he said the word fun. He looked like he wanted to gag when saying the word fun.
Trainers rushed up fighting for the pen to fill out the trainer card to join on the tournament. I spot Henry and Michio beating back a few people to put their cards in the box. I wait until the crowd dies down to fill out a card to join the tournament.
If I stay in for even two rounds, I will be more prepared for the gym challenge. Now before that I need to find a sixth pokemon to join my team before the tournament.
Kabu steps up on the box after everything calms down," The tournament will start in seven days to give trainers enough time to prepare and to have a full team of six. For if you don't have a full team, you will be instantly disqualified. Now go and make sure you travel in groups if you are searching for new pokemon to be on the safe side."
I go over to Rain," Hey would you go with me to the raid dens to find a pokemon for my team? Also, some new pokemon for you to." I give my best hopeful smile trying my best to be positive.
