It was pretty crazy! I enjoyed it immensely, because it was so unlike the other Conferences of the Pokemon League.
[He nodded.] The Elite Four NEVER fight in the Conference! They're sort of the governing force of Champion Pokemon Trainers than anything else. Even Cynthia from Sinnoh doesn't fight in a Conference, that'd be unbalanced. She does do battles against other Champions though! I wonder how she's doing...
MMm well, the Grand Trial is like a Battle, typically. Prove your strength against the Island King or Queen, the Kahuna of the island. Professor Kukui said they're less like a Gym Leader than a uh... religious figure? The governing spiritual head. It goes over my head but Pokemon religion was never my strong point, not when I literally rode Arceus. You can't get much weirder than that.
