Since the house was built, Lillie and the others have not been able to come to Sinnoh once, largely because they were affected by the events in Galar.
The island kings, who lamented that there were no successors, have begun to look for capable people among the younger generation to teach.
This time there is no need to hide my clumsiness, I can learn as much as I can.
But what's sadder is that some people didn't learn it long and then turned around and ran to Galar.
There is no use in blaming, the other party made it clear.
"Although your strength is higher than mine, your upper limit is too low compared to the top trainers in Galar..."
"If I want to go further, I have to go out."
It’s impossible to refute, and it’s even so true that it hurts.
"Sofuwu is dead."
Luther's hands shook and he sighed heavily.
In the end, the Island King of Poni Island did not live to witness the establishment of the Manaro Arena, nor did he survive until the day when the conference began.
Luther remembered clearly that he was the first to speak, and against all opinions, he set the rule that the Manaro Conference would not reject contestants from other regions.
This dying old man is far more sober than those ignorant people who want to play by themselves behind closed doors.
If you don't compete with more powerful opponents, you will always play your own game, and you will only fall into another endless cycle.
"Poni Island has no official heir to the king of the island, and even the patron saint of Poni Island, Capu? Fin, has also disappeared, as if he was extremely disappointed with the trainer of Poni Island."
"Some of the trainers Sofuu once taught went to Fengyuan, some went to Unova, and some simply went to Galar. Only a few stayed in Alola to carry on his legacy and teach the people of this island.
The younger generation.”
Alola is really in turmoil.
"Galar went to your Alola to recruit people. They should be all trainers. What are their levels?"
"Definitely not as good as the king of the island, but... I can already compete with the elite trainers on the island, and they..."
"Okay, stop talking." Luther shook his head.
I also knew that the people who could be sent to poach people were generally middle- and lower-level members of the alliance. It was impossible for truly powerful people to appear in Alola. After all, they couldn't openly quarrel with each other.
Lusamine also heard the helplessness in Luther's tone.
Originally, this was a phone call after such a long time, and it was approaching the New Year, so the things we discussed should be more festive.
However, Lusamine, who was anxious in her eyes during this period, couldn't help but pour bitter tears while announcing the postponement of the conference.
Lillie has deep feelings for Alola. In this atmosphere, she decisively chooses to follow Dr. Kukui and learn the skills of elf fighting.
Not only that, the lessons learned by the children Luther met in the elf school were basically linked to battles.
"There will be a friendly match for new trainers proposed by Galar in three months."
When he heard the words "friendly match", Luther snorted.
"How about a friendly match at the gym?" Luther said, "Let the owner of our gym come over to compete with the King of the Island. I'm afraid you won't refuse. It's reasonable for young people to compete."
"It's a friendly match, so you can't refuse. After all, it's a pure invitational match from the outside, and Galar is taking the lead. The cross-regional nature can easily inspire trainers in the Alola region to want to prove themselves.
"
"If a very good prospect appears, maybe we can contact him privately after the friendly match, promise something, and then take him away."
Luther was so familiar with this routine that he directly read all of Galar's intentions.
The trainers who were recruited before were not necessarily the best ones in Alola, and they were also recruited to achieve the reputation of "Galar is more suitable for the growth of trainers than Alola".
Moreover, this method is not easy to identify and screen those with real potential. It is only used to build momentum.
After the success of the momentum building, holding a friendly match to recruit is to directly identify potential stocks and position Alola's outstanding young players in one step.
What a ruthless way of harvesting, it’s like grabbing Alola’s wool hard.
This is the first time that Luther has intuitively felt the impact of the overall power imbalance between regions since he came to this world.
There are no wars or annexations here, but the plunder of top talent resources has never stopped.
No one can help Alora, not even Luther.
For a single person, the friction between regions is like a pebble between two meshed gears. It is impossible to stop it all by oneself. If you bump into it, you may get bruises all over your body.
Only when Alola begins its own training of elite trainers and builds its own reputation and influence can the trainers who come to Alola be retained, so that they do not simply regard Alola as a place for retirement.
"Lilia hasn't chatted with me for a long time. Let her video chat with me when she has time."
"A while ago, Shui Lian asked me how to train water elves better. I asked Dawu to ask Mikri for help and found some suggestions for her."
"Lusamine, there's really not much I can do. I know you not only informed me of the postponement of the conference today, but also asked for my help, but behind me is Qidao... I can't move."
Luther was no longer alone. He could do whatever he wanted without any worries.
"I can't go to Alola right now. Something happened here and I need to make some preparations... I'm very busy."
Lusamine smiled happily: "That's enough. I manage the Aether Foundation and know that your position is difficult. After all, this is a matter between Alola and Galar."
"It would be great to be able to provide such help to Lillie and the others. They will definitely be very happy."
Lusamine was indeed a qualified mother now. After Luther hung up the phone, he looked at the sky with some sadness.
Lillie has a strange stubbornness. Suiren knows that after encountering a bottleneck, she will contact her in her spare time to seek answers, but Lillie doesn't do this.
She seems to be worried that her request will trouble others, so she would rather suffer some hardships herself.
It was precisely because she understood her daughter's stubbornness that Lusamine stepped forward to help pave the way for her to contact Luther naturally.
Did his arrival cause Galar to act so much, or was it always like this?
Luther didn't know.
But more and more news came to Luther, making him feel that a huge storm was brewing in Galar.
This is different from the previous petty quarrels, and is likely to be a change that will change the regional structure.
Luther urgently needs to improve his strength and status, and accumulate enough strength to prepare for possible changes.
"It seems that we still can't stop. Qidao's influence and our own strength must be improved simultaneously."
