For some unexplained reason, trainers seeking to challenge his gym were more scarce than ever. Maybe it was just because everyone was more focused on the political war. Nowadays, becoming a pokemon master was no longer the most sought after dream a pokemon trainer had when he or she set out on his journey. Was he, a gym leader, whose job was to test a trainer's strength and abilities, supposed to feel disheartened at this, or just assume that it was a phase that would end eventually just as it had started? People were very independent and aggressively concerned with the political affairs of the region more so than things like pokemon abuse. He remembered when about ten years ago, there were more pokemon rangers because people were strongly advocating the ceasing of pokemon abuse and doing away with evil doers such as pokemon hunters. Then when world famous organizations like Team Rocket were defeated, it was as if the culture had moved toward a new era were nobody tried to be an illegal pokemon hunter anymore, and no dared to mistreat pokemon anymore. Pokemon rangers became fewer, and soon Officer Jenny was all the world needed to keep crime under control. Pokemon coordinating had always been a craze since it had begun, but the pokemon contest fan base was few and unpopular. Then within the past ten years, pokeathlons had become a popular thing, and to this day have been a growing craze. But what about simply defeating the pokemon gyms, training your pokemon to realize their full potential, challenging the pokemon league, and becoming the very best? Shin'ichi hadn't understood yet why the original job had lost so much popularity in the past decade. It was a mystery to him. Shin'ichi sighed and leaned tiredly against a lone tree in the Ormy Plains, taking shelter in its shade as he thought over these things. What was the gym leader's role in Lyeant now that everyone's worries centered around the two parties, Besser and Minder? If it were one evil organization like Team Imum, he would easily know where he was to stand and fight. He felt it was his duty to protect Veherna Citadel, and together with the other gym leaders and trainers, to protect all of Lyeant from those who sought to bring evil, corruption and pain to the innocent. His deep thinking lulled himself to sleep soon after he lied down under the shade of the tree. ooc|| sooo sorry for the wait!! ;w; words|| 432 tags|| Riley |
