[indent][indent][color=slategray]The reset button was pressed, and now we’re looking at Season 0. Or, at least that’s what the Chairwoman of the League, Hanae Layton, is calling it. In reality, it’s back to square one. While the last two years have been spent focused around a more classic Pokémon Training format, now we’re back to what we’ve gotten used to.

Speaking typically, the Pokémon World League is structured into smaller, regional Leagues. There are forty-eight teams in the League. Eight to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos. Each team has ten people. The ten trainers represent their team in various tournaments. These tournaments range from the standard one on one Pokémon battling, to Contest halls, to two on two Pokémon battles, and even some team based Contest events. At Each League Event, your team has a chance to win League Points. Collecting League Points will get you into the Pokémon World Tournament, where you and your team will face off against the world’s best.

Traveling across their respective Regions as a team, Pokémon Trainers are often close enough to consider each other family. They travel together, they often board together, they work together, and they win together. Every team has a following, some large, some small. Pokémon Trainers are essentially the celebrities of the world.

Though usually sponsored by corporations such as Silph Co., one team this year is the oddball, and is personally funded by Hanae herself. This team is headed and handpicked by a younger, rookie trainer who succeeded in completing the challenge laid out by Hanae when she first hit the reset button. Though the team is going to be entering the Kalos Regional League, they are the ninth team entered there.

Later this year, following the completion of the Regional Circuit, the World Tournament itself will be hosted in the Orange Islands. We hope to see you there![/color][/indent][/indent]
