Next morning-
I was getting ready for my press conference. But I was still feeling guilty for last night. Well its now or never.
"Nelly" I called out.
"Yes host." Nelly said.
"Um. I am sorry for last night." I finally said. Nelly blinked in suprise.
"I acted rude and took all my frustration out on you. I never meant to do that. I was being stupid really. I am sorry." I apologized.
"Its okay host. It happens." Nelly said with a smile. I smiled back too. Keeping to oneself is not healthy either. Sigh. I have to find some way to deal with this problem.

The press conference is about to begin in a few minutes. As a champion Its my duty too after all to answer some questions.
"This press conference arranged today is for all the civilians of Kanto and Jhoto." Mr Pokemon began.
"We have noticed the dissatisfaction among the Kanto and Jhoto netizens for having a unified league." Mr pokemon continued.
"So we have decided to seperate the league." Mr pokemon announced. The press went quiet. Before it errupted.
"Mr Pokemon why this sudden change."
"Who initiated it."
"Are you sure about it."
"We did this, to ensure the protection and safety of both region." Mr Pokemon finally said. That made everyone quiet.
"With how the crime rates have been increasing we thought it to be better for more people to be in the defense line. So each region having its own elite four and champion was thought to be better option than our previous system." Mr Pokemon added.
"Mr Pokemon are you saying our previous defense system is not good enough." One daring reporter pushed.
"If our previous system was weak then the team rocket would not have been eradicated completely." Mr Pokemon said. Really, taking the credit now. If not for Giovanni having escaped his control from the god awful spirit then the team rocket would not have halted his operation.
Team rocket was not a small organisation. It have been in operation for a long time. Since Professor Oak time. But well its true that Team Rocket has stopped operating. Who is really there to stopnthe league from taking credit.
I turned to see Giovani looking amused at Mr Pokemon announcement. He turned to see me smirking at him. He too smirked back. It was kinda funny really. The former leader of Team rocket is becoming the elite four and no one really knows. Plus the announcement on top of it. Ha.
"But Mr Pokemon we have heard that its actually someone names Siren who did all this." That caught my attention. Shit. I thought I had erased all leads. At least they do not knw my original name yet.
"That is just some criminal who wanted to steal fsome treasure for balck market. No hero. It was the GS corp who have done there work diligently." Lance bursted out in anger. Geez why does he hate my counter part so much.
"Thank you for your explanation Lance." Mr Pokemon said with a smile. That clearly snapped Lance out from his anger. He realized he burst out in a press conference and embarrassed sat back on his seat.
"Anyway as Lance said, Its GS corp who has done the work not whoever this Siren is." Mr Pokemon clarified. I mean I kinda am also part of GS corp so its not exactly wrong. Hah. Pollitics. No wonder people want to stay away from it.
"Lets have a round of applause for our Kanto chamion Reina Green and Jhoto Champion Lance Dragoon." Mr Pokemon said. Both of us stood and smile at the press.
"Now all the Kanto elite four:
The ice type elite: Lorelai Frost,
The Grass type elite: Flora Evergreen,
The Ground type elite: Giovani Sakaki,
The Dark type elite: Blake Draco,
" Everyone at there name stood and smiled at the praise.
"Lets not forget our Jhoto elite four now right:
The Fighting type elite: Bruno Shiba,
The poison type elite: Koga Kyou,
The Dark type elite: Karen Yoru,
The Psychic type elite: Will Itsuki
" Same with the jhoto elite. They too stood up and smiled at the press.
Everyone began to click our pictures. After some more of the question answer session we left from there. It was seriously exhausting. I was about to leave when an auction invitation came. Both region elite four and champion were invited to the Mortha Auction. It was the biggest auction in the whole of Kanto.
From most rarest items to high potential rare species pokemon. There was nothing that this auction did not sell. Of course it was within the legal bounds.
The items and pokemon were legally aquired and pokemon were kept in pristine condition, so no abuse. This was the most elite auction of the Kanto region after all. Though have to dress up for this auction but all is fair in love and pokemon right.
