olivia chortled, it was a chill and bitter sound like the briny winter winds they had all endured in slateport. "anderson, it seems i must be the bearer of bad news, or the one to clarify something that i had thought was obvious to everyone in this room: the rangers, elite four, and any league operative serves under the council. gods' sake, the elite four are chosen and hand picked by us and the commissioner." olivia announced, her glacier gaze honing in on the ranger. she liked him, for a man, but he was as ignorant as any other. she added with a scoff, "the only league representatives with an inch of autonomy would be gym leaders, seeing as they handle the municipal issues of their place of residence - who even then, may and can be dismissed by the council or commissioner."
"to be quite frank, anderson, despite your position as head ranger and my own missions with you; i find that i must inform you that what you say here, now, is advice, guidance, suggestions; choose any synonym but at the end of the day it is the vote of the council and commissioner that will matter." olivia said matter of factly before adding, "you were invited to this meeting to share your thoughts, but only that. going forward, i ask that you remember this. you are not on the council, you are merely here to provide a different outlook on the situations and topics being discussed, but hold no sway or power in how things will proceed." she paused, her cold uncaring eyes making contact with the ranger's as she said, "understood? good." before moving on to the next topic.
olivia began with a curt nod to dahlia goode , "let us move onto budget, then, considering the commissioner's consent to the proposal, shall we?" the screen flashed to charts, data list, and media of the destroyed parts of slateport and other places. "given the current situation in hoenn, i am more than well aware on how much we rely on the rangers and how thinly spread they are. i have traveled from slateport to lilycove with anderson by my side to fend off these mutated pokemon who wreak havoc; so despite councilman silph's suggestion that we cut funds to the ranger, as he clearly holds little regard for our brave rangers, i have compiled a list of guaranteed and potential donators." olivia began, ocean eyes flicking to FERNANDO SILPH at her last comment before returning to the holographic display.
"there is, of course, the crown. seeing as we provide support throughout most of western hoenn already with sootopolis as our headquarters, i would be more than willing to contribute." olivia said, the logo of a crown popping into existence. "then, there is lupin co." their own logo flashed into reality alongside the crown, "miss shou has given her consent and approval to this initiative and will provide the funds required; perhaps more, in fact, but i will touch back on that soon." the logos disappeared and a familiar one popped up, dev co. "i am more than confident that the current CEO, DAPHNE STONE , would be willing to contribute. miss stone has been quite friendly and cooperative with the league and would likely offer what help she could." beep boop, the logo of Thomas Benoit 's company manifested. "one of our, gym leader benoit, is already analyzing the toxins from the new year's incident and i believe would be an integral part of the AQUA initiative - as a donator and potential member."
all four logos returned tot he holodisplay, "four powerful companies with international reach; from hoenn to sinnoh and orre to galar, all four entities have the means to aide us in this endeavor." olivia said. the logos dimmed out until it was just lupin and the crown, "of which galar is of particular interest. their league is more a sports show than anything, but there is particular phenomena that has been brought to my attention given miss shou and i's recent development into galar."
footage from a galarian gym battle popped up, giant pokemon and all, "there is a similar issue that they are facing. trained and captured pokemon, can apparently, manifest into larger forms of themselves, but -" the image changed to a somewhat blurry pic of an enraged giant galarian corsola. "this was taken from one of the abbiati eco cameras. galar has a terrible pollution problem and miss shou and i are working on purifying their water... excuse the tangent, but the focus is this: they too are dealing with these mutated pokemon that we have faced. this is a problem we can learn from and hopefully solve with our galarian counterparts... such as how they capture these pokemon; it could be a breakthrough into research into capturing the 'ultra beast'"
her attention turned to kim cole-essam , a thin lipped smile on her face. "the specifics of the initiative may be forged here, but the original concept is such, councilman cole." the holodisplay became a diagram that could be found in paper form within the folds each person had been given, it read:
this team will be made up of existing league related persons: trainers, researchers, rangers, coordinators, and even gym leaders. we may go so far up the chain of command except the elite four and the champion.
this team will act as a response and research team whose purpose is to understand, defeat, and capture these 'ultra beast'.
this team will act as a research and recruitment team whose purpose is to understand, monitor, and train these 'avatars'.
this team will act as a first responding team to any of the above, and be given authority over the situation should others arrive.
this team will sign waivers and contracts with the league as to allow contingency plans to be enacted should death occur.
this team will research both 'avatars' and 'ultra beast' so the league can have the most current technological advancements ready to deal with such threats.
"as i have said multiple times, this initiative is not meant to replace any existing body of the league, but rather act as a special ops team. people who we can rely on to handle situations that are beyond the mundane." olivia stated. "once the initiative is given the go ahead, we will compile a list of possible recruits who have proven their loyalty to the league, prowess in battle, and intellect in research. we need people from all branches of the league to come together so we may forge a bright future for hoenn without the shadow of fear from these 'ultra beast' and 'avatars' alike.
there was a silent third 'shadow' that had gone unnoticed or unacknowledged by her fellows: rocket.
