Extra 20: C.A.O.S. (37)
"Isn't it obvious? I thought we had something special, old friend" - Scott said as he took off his sunglasses and shot him an annoyed look.
"What do you want me to tell you? Elementia's appearance in your world changed a lot of things, besides, Charles Goodshow is right, I'm the most qualified to take command of the [Highest Pokémon Authority] of this region" - sighed Kurama with a frown.
"If you put it that way, I don't think I can come up with an argument to refute your words" - sighed Scott while frowning - "Although now I have a new offer for you, one that fits your job as champion perfectly..."
"The job of champion is an annoying one, a time-consuming one, and you know it, Scott" - Kurama replied as he rolled his eyes at him.
"True, but I know that you don't have those problems, in Elementia there is no need for a protector, because there is your presence preventing the more important problems" - Scott said with a huge smile - "You only work as a figurehead only on paper, while the rest of the minor problems are dealt with by the international police"
Kurama was silent as he clicked his tongue - "I hate that you have so many contacts."
"That's part of my job as a talent recruiter" - Scott smiled while enjoying his old friend's annoyed expression - "That's why my proposal still stands, I want you to be one of my new [Battle Frontier] Ace's."
"New? Wait... You plan to build one in this region?" - Kurama asked in surprise - "Who authorized you?"
"Actually, that's one of the reasons why I came to see you personally, I'm the first one to arrive, and the other Front Aces will arrive shortly" - replied Scott while shrugging his shoulders - "Back to the point, my goal is simple, I want you to authorize the creation, or even the transfer of my Frontier Outposts to this region, because something tells me that this will become the region with the greatest competitive potential, not only because of your new gym combat model, but also because of you, Kurama-san"
Kurama was silent, although he had to admit that it felt good that someone like Scott was "feeding" his ego.
"Please continue" - Kurama said as he shook his head and showed a serious expression again, although he wouldn't deny it, he was slightly interested.
Scott smiled because he noticed this, so he quickly explained the situation.
His new goal was to create the ultimate [Battle Frontier], one that would test the elite of the elite, one that would make those trainers full of potential push their limits and help them go much further, one in which even the high command of the different regions could participate and battle it out as equals with the [Frontier Brain]. He had sought this vision, but had to admit that it was harder to do than to say, which is why when he heard of the merging of dimensions, as well as Kurama's reappearance, his plans were set in the right direction again.
"It's simple, I want to create a medal-restricted Battlefront" - Scott said while explaining his new model - "My new [Frontier brains] will be the best of the best from my two current [Battlefronts], as well as other possible trainers, possibly I want them to be the best of the best, kind of like trainers who are part of the top 100 of the world ranking"
"World ranking?" - Kurama repeated with surprise because he didn't know about this term.
"Oh, right, you don't know because at the time you disappeared they were just organizing the positions" - said Scott while shaking his head - "The Pokémon league managed to enlist all the strongest trainers in the world, and their positions are proportional to the number of battles and victories achieved, currently Leon-san, the champion of Galar, is the number one spot, as for your spot, you haven't been assigned it because as I said, you weren't around at the time the list was created, although now that you're back, it's possible that you'll be given your spot during the champion's match"
"I see..." - Kurama nodded as he started to think - "I want to guess that I'm around the 10-20th place."
"That low?" - Scott asked in surprise.
"I mean, my matches were against relatively novice challengers, so obviously my points can't be that many" - replied Kurama as he shrugged - "So I don't expect much, I might even settle for a 30th place."
"I think you are being too humble with your words, Kurama-san" - said Scott while shaking his head.
"No, I'm being honest, besides, I don't think I'd accept a higher position than that" - replied Kurama with a frown - "It would be embarrassing for people to know me as one of the strongest trainers when my resume is not as high as the other champions'"
"Well, you have a point" - Scott mumbled as he nodded - "Anyway, I think we'd better get back to the main point of the conversation."
"Yeah, I was a little interested in your new [Battle Frontier] model." - Kurama said earnestly.
"Actually, I have the thought that I could mix my two [Battlefronts] into one, and slowly expand it so that there will be a wider variety of challenges, or even the same challenge, but with different rules, so my [Frontier Brains] can have less work and can carry out their own business" - Scott said with a small smile.
"I'm sure your subordinates will be excited to hear you say this" - nodded Kurama as he started to think - "Do you want to divide the front points directly into 3 different sections?"
"That's the second phase, create a center point with different combat modes" - said Scott as he nodded - "Single, double, triple, rotating and multiple combat."
"Hmm, that would make you have more specialists and without the need to create new points" - muttered Kurama while nodding.
"We'd like to hear a little more about what you're talking about" - said a female voice.
Scott jumped when he heard this voice, so he quickly turned around and saw a group of pretty girls who were wearing the same outfit, but with different colors - "What are you doing here?"
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Scott-san" - Morgan said as she bowed.
"Nita, Evelyn, Dana, Morgan, I didn't expect you to show up in this place with how busy you are with the battle mansion" - Scott said with a frown because even if he doesn't want to admit it, he had a certain level of competition with these girls, after all, they were the ones responsible for him not being able to build a [Battle Frontier] in Kalos, they were even negotiating with creating a new battle mansion in Hoenn.
"It's rude not to say hello before asking those kinds of questions, Scott" - Dana said disdainfully.
"Tch" - Scott clicked his tongue - "Sorry, I'm glad to see you too".
"You don't need to lie" - Dana said as she let out a cute snort.
Kurama raised an eyebrow because he could notice the lightning bolts in these two's gaze.
"Don't worry, Dana is like that with everyone she dislikes" - Nita said as she appeared next to the silver haired man and started to watch him so close that you could say she was invading his personal space.
"Nita, don't do something so rude" - said Evelyn as she grabbed her younger sister by the ear and dragged her over to where the others were.
"It hurts, it hurts, Eve-chan!" - Nita exclaimed with tears in her eyes.
"I apologize for the rudeness of my two sisters, Kurama-san" - said Morgan with a small smile - "It's a pleasure to meet you in person."
"Oh, don't worry, in fact, I feel more comfortable speaking naturally, so you don't have to be so polite" - said Kurama as he shook his head.
"Oh, then I'm going to take your word for it" - smiled Morgan as she looked at her sisters - "Well girls, I think it's time for you to introduce yourselves".
"I'm Nita, the youngest of the sisters, and Battle Mansion's expert in single combat! It's a pleasure ~!" - Nita exclaimed with a huge smile that showed how animated she was.
"I-I'm Evelyn, I'm the second youngest and in charge of the double battles, it's a pleasure..." - Evelyn said with her face red with embarrassment as she played with her fingers, an action that reminded her too much of a certain masochistic princess in her family.
"Hmph! My name is Dana, triple combat specialist" - Dana said as she crossed her arms - "It's a pleasure."
"It doesn't sound like it is" - Scott said disdainfully as he listened to the pink-haired girl click her tongue.
"I'm Morgan, the eldest, and I'm in charge of the [Battle Mansion] rotation battles, again it's a pleasure, Kurama-san" - smiled Morgan as she gave a small bow.
"As you already know, my name is Kurama Uzumaki, new champion of Elementia" - smiled Kurama as he looked at the 4 girls - "The pleasure is mine"
