Bula was a tall and robust young man, clearly dedicated to maintaining his physical fitness through regular exercise.
Sometimes Trainers need to venture into dangerous areas, which might not pose risks for Pokemon but can be challenging for humans without sufficient strength and endurance.
Many mid-to-high-level Trainers prioritize their physical conditioning, and Bula stood out as one of the exceptional ones.
Even if Bula were to participate in Fighting-type battles, despite lacking expertise, his physique and raw power would enable him to hold his own against skilled Fighters.
Having a strong physique offers advantages, especially when energy waves from Pokemon battles can sometimes cause weaker individuals to faint upon impact.
Kalia spotted Bula and descended towards him. As they approached, they noticed a Snorlax by his side, evidently indicating it as Bula's primary Pokemon.
Kalia jumped off Charizard, while Lian retracted its wings and walked alongside her, gazing at Bula across the open space.
This area, devoid of nearby Pokemon, seemed perfect for Bula to train his companions.
"Hello, Senior," Kalia greeted with respect. Typically, ordinary Trainers use honorifics when encountering experienced high-level Trainers to show courtesy and admiration.
Bula nodded slightly, glanced at Kalia, and spoke, "What important matter do you wish to discuss?"
Kalia swiftly recounted the entire situation, emphasizing its significance as it involved the Legendary Pokemon Kyogre.
As an ultra-ancient Legendary, stories about Kyogre have numerous variations, but one constant remains - whenever Kyogre appears, it signifies disaster for humanity.
Many disaster films revolve around Kyogre, captivating audiences with the massive blue whale lurking beneath the deep sea on screen.
Kyogre's purpose is to expand the oceans, while humans live on land. The expansion of oceans would inevitably reduce terrestrial areas, leading to catastrophic losses. Although Kyogre has always been a legend, that doesn't mean it isn't real.
Upon hearing this, Bula looked grave, realizing the potential enormity of the situation for the Pokemon League if true.
He responded, "If this is accurate, it's indeed crucial. I'll immediately contact the League. Please come with me."
"Alright." Kalia nodded, understanding that her verbal explanation was just the beginning; further verification and detailed questioning would follow to confirm the truth of her claims.
Bula promptly contacted the League, and shortly after, Kalia and Bula embarked on their journey towards the headquarters of the Pokemon League.
The Pokemon League's main base is located on an island in the southern region, largely isolated from the mainland. Trainers can only access it using Flying-type Pokemon.
This island resides within an inland lake, with the heart of the lake being the central hub of the League's headquarters—a small island where the Champion and Elite Four typically reside.
At their level, travel primarily relies on Flying-type Pokemon, making geographical barriers almost inconsequential.
Having already alerted the League beforehand, Kalia had no time to fully explore the headquarters and followed Bula directly to a plaza on the island.
Several individuals had gathered at the plaza: League Champion Botaya, two members of the Elite Four, and a few elderly-looking men who were likely the League's elders.
Given the gravity of the situation involving Kyogre, the League took it very seriously. Apart from the two Elite Four members who were unavailable due to prior commitments, all others present at the headquarters attended the meeting.
Bula and Kalia landed on the ground, with Lian retracting his wings. They faced the group ahead, comprising the highest echelons of power in the Sebas region. The elders represented ultimate authority, while the Champion and Elite Four symbolized unparalleled strength.
Compared to these figures, Kalia had a long way to go. Currently, she only possessed four Pokémon; aside from Lian and Sceptile, the others were of average strength.
Feeling somewhat nervous, Kalia acknowledged that before her stood the pinnacle of Trainers, including not just two Elite Four members but also the League Champion, Botaya.
She had only seen Botaya on television before, making this her first encounter with him in person. With his golden hair and handsome features, it was no wonder he was secretly admired by many female Trainers.
While Kalia wasn't as infatuated as some, she still held great admiration for Botaya, given his status as the League Champion, embodying the epitome of power at the top of the pyramid.
Apart from Botaya, the two individuals beside him were Psychic-type Elite Four member Raya and Ice-type Elite Four member Niza, both revered by numerous Trainers.
The four Elite Four members included: Dragon-type Taro, Psychic-type Raya, Ice-type Niza, and Steel-type Caden. They were currently the top Elite Four trainers of the Sebas League.
Kalia and Bula approached, standing before the group. Botaya walked ahead with a serious expression, as his position as League Champion carried great authority within the Pokemon League but also significant responsibilities.
"Bula, is everything you've said true?" Botaya asked, glancing briefly at Kalia. Although he didn't recognize her personally, her name sounded familiar from conversations with Taro, leaving him with some vague recollection.
"Highly likely, but further investigation is needed. Kalia has all the details." Bula nodded cautiously, acknowledging that it was primarily based on Kalia's account.
Kalia then repeated her story, this time providing even more specifics as Botaya questioned her thoroughly. She elaborated on numerous aspects of the incident.
"The crucial point now is determining the exact location where the comet descended. Do you remember any landmarks or directions?" Botaya inquired, realizing that the area where the violet comet landed could potentially be where Kyogre lay dormant.
If they could determine the exact direction, it would significantly narrow down the search area for Kyogre.
Kalia pondered carefully, but honestly, being on the ground surrounded by trees made it difficult to pinpoint the direction accurately.
Observing Kalia's expression, Lian realized she couldn't recall the specifics. He instinctively extended his claw and wrote the direction directly on the ground.
The comet had fallen towards the place where the moon rises, naturally indicating the western side, specifically the western sea region.
"Huh, your Charizard."
Botaya's keen observation skills quickly noticed Lian's actions and saw what he had written. It was rare for Pokemon to grasp human language; typically, such mastery required specialized training.
However, not only did Kalia's Charizard understand complex conversations, but it also promptly provided the answer.
This Charizard was truly exceptional.
Kalia, still straining her memory, admitted that she genuinely couldn't remember. Seeing Lian's gesture, she displayed surprise initially, followed by relief.
West.
Upon further reflection, Kalia recalled that the violet comet indeed fell towards the west. She hadn't expected her Charizard to remember this detail.
