บท 165: Rewards and deals
The award ceremony started after two hours of break.
The one to give out the prize was Chairman Charles Goodshow himself.
Hundreds of cameras focused on Aoki Gunhildr as he walked up to the stage.
"That was a breathtaking performance Professor Gunhildr…
All of your battles gave me an adrenaline rush reminding me of my younger days when I dreamed of crushing every trainer in front of me.
I am sure that your battles would motivate trainers all over the world and dream higher.
I expect great things from you." Goodshow said as he handed Aoki his trophy, his check of 10 million Pokedollars, and the travel pass.
There was a table on the stage that had multiple Pokemon eggs and Pokeballs with their labels.
Aoki looked around the table and spotted one dark green egg with dark patches
"I choose the Larvitar egg"
Aoki could not let go of the opportunity to own a pseudo-legendary Pokemon.
Coming in the second position was Cynthia Shirona.
She received a check for 8 million Pokedollars and a travel pass.
Cynthia left the stage with the egg of Axew as her choice.
Steven Stone and Diantha together shared the third position.
Both of them received a check for 6 million Pokedollar and their travel pass.
Steven chose the Pokeball of Snorlax while Diantha chose Absol.
All four trainers went through some interviews and were asked to give out some tips to aspiring trainers.

"First of all let me congratulate you two on your success" league officer Alfred said to Aoki and Sabrina sitting in front of him.
A champion-level totem Alakazam stood beside Alfred.
"Thanks for making the Kanto region proud Aoki…"
"Kanto is my home, of course, I will make Kanto proud.
This is just the start, I am going to achieve something that people can only dream of" Aoki said confidently.
"Haha! I love your confidence.
So let me ask you one thing if one day you became the champion of the Kanto region, what would you do?" Alfred asked.
"Before anything else, I am a trainer.
I would not stop my adventures and exploration even if I became the champion.
Becoming the champion is not enough for me, I dream of becoming the strongest trainer in the entire world " Aoki replied.
"That's the answer I expected…
So, let me offer you a deal.
We shall give you a research lab and researchers to work for you.
Moreover, we shall promote any research or products you come up with free of cost.
We shall be exempt from doing most of the champion responsibilities if you manage to defeat Lance.
The exemption includes not doing paperwork and traveling anywhere as long as you can return in time of emergencies.
In return, I want some things from you.
The first is to become the face of Kanto.
You must defeat Lance and become the champion.
For the past few years, Kanto has been going down in reputation but I want Kanto to reclaim its title as the strongest region.
I want you to sign an agreement that you shall stay loyal to the Kanto region and never change your nationality.
Lastly, I want you to release some of your secrets to the league.
I am not asking for the entire as I know that makes you unique, we want some generalized training methods. "
Alfred slid the contract towards Aoki to read.
"Let me give you a personal gift " Alfred looked at Alakazam whose eyes glowed as a blue egg inside an incubator appeared on the table.
"This is a Dratiny egg that belongs to a champion-level Dragonite"
Aoki narrowed his eyes seeing everything in front of him.
"What is your true objective, Mr. Alfred? Aren't you becoming too generous?" Aoki asked.
"Like you Aoki, I also have dreams…..
I wish to become the head of the Kanto League alliance and need support.
You shall become a part of my faction and become my ladder to success.
The current Kanto League alliance is too soft and useless to develop.
Due to negligence, cults are arising everywhere spreading nothing but a nuisance and public harm, I can't allow that.
I can't stand other regions surpassing us so after I become the chairman, I wish to make Kanto the greatest again. " Alfred said spreading out his arms.
Aoki could feel no malicious intent from him and knew Alfred was serious.
"Fine then, I accept the deal.
I shall help you become the head of the Kanto league alliance while you support me in return"
Aoki said after thinking for a few minutes.
He signed the contract and shook hands with Alfred.
With the addition of a Dragonite and Tyranitar to his already monstrous team, Alfred can't imagine how strong Aoki would become.
"Sorry for neglecting you till now Sabrina, let's get to you now.
I have a deal for you too.
We shall forget your involvement with Team Rocket and past incidents you were related to" Alfred said.
Seeing that Aoki have no reaction, Alfred continued.
"We can even let you a free pass to travel anywhere for any duration while still being a gym leader.
In return, you must join my faction like Aoki and become strong enough to occupy the position of one of the elite fours.
I don't want you to dirty your hands like your earlier work.
I want you to become a pillar for Kanto's future and spread out your influence all over the world.
What do you say?"
Sabrina thought for a few seconds and agreed to the deal.

In a different room.
Misty and Agatha were having a discussion.
Misty was surprised to hear that Agatha and her father had a history.
Apparently during his early twenties when Misty's father David was not yet a gym leader, he pestered Agatha to a degree that she had to personally train him till he became a gym leader.
"I have an offer for you Misty.
Since I am near to retiring, I must choose a successor to whom I can pass on my knowledge.
I want you to become my disciple..."
Misty was shocked after hearing that.
"But why me? Sabrina is a lot stronger and more talented than me. "
"Sabrina and you are different, as if now Sabrina can grow on her own but without someone's help your growth will stop here.
I have heard about you since you were a child of David and know about your character very well.
You are good at copying to become better but you can't get passed that.
Even now, after analyzing all of your battles, it's a slightly changed version and weaker versions of moves and strategies Aoki uses.
What makes you different from Sabrina is your individuality.
If this goes on, you can never reach a great height and remain as his shadow.
If you become my disciple, I shall make you find your individuality and make you the future elite four of the Kanto region.
But remember everything comes with a price.
You have to leave Aoki's shadow and become your own self so you can't be his travel companion anymore.
For the next few years, you shall abandon your current lifestyle.
Travel with me and stray with me till your training ends. "
"I-I need some time to think," Misty said.
"The flight for Kanto is tomorrow evening, you have to answer me by then"
