Meanwhile at a hidden location..
"Meredith, you should come hear this." Sabrina said, looking more serious than she had been all this time. The reporter Meredith followed Sabrina to their advanced radio system, where a broadcast was starting. Meredith gasped. "That is not ours. Who else could have access to radio waves?"
Her questioned was answered when she heard the voice of Cooper:
"Dear survivors. Times have been hard and I am just proud at how well you are adapting. As you know, my staff has been working hard on creating artificial pokemon like Porygon for example. However, we have also been working on something else behind the curtains. In order to restore as much of the world as we knew it, we have been trying to recreate the League challenge."
Sabrina and Meredith widened their eyes and stared at each other. "So our scoop is true. I bet he wants to beat us to it, to neutralize us as an information source. And you know what, I bet it was also him who tried to attack us at Goldenrod."
Cooper continued: "However, the tragedy that has happened to all of us is also an opportunity. We can change anything we want, we had to start from scratch. The 6 gyms we have prepared with be devided over three regions, carefully selected by the type of environment that region has since the Apocalyps. The first 2 gyms will be in Kalos, where we are focused on recreating organic life. Not exactly my own preference, but the needs of the many ofcourse outweighs the needs of the one. Expect the find a grass/water gym and a fairy gym."
The more Cooper revealed, the more Sabrina got this feeling that he was trying to manipulate the survivors into thinking he has their best intrest. History taught us that there will be people believing him.
"The next 2 gyms will be in Sinnoh. As it turned mostly nocturnal, you shall face a dark/ghost gym and a poison gym. The poison types often used to be grass types but the lack of sunlight changed them too. Perhaps some sort of trade between Sinnoh and Kalos can be an option in the future."
Sabrina frowned. Trade? Ofcourse. Resources means power. Sinnoh will have to find something to offer in return.
Cooper finished his speech:
"And the last 2 gyms will be in Unova. I wil not share too much about it so far but considering it's a big wastelands nowadays, expect a rock/ground gym and a steel gym. Oh and in Unova you will also face the World Champion."
Sabrina grunted. "I bet he gave that title to himself. Who would dare to disagree with him?"
Meredith had been squeezing her fists all this time. "We need to stop him before he becomes a tyrant. He has already framed us as fake news. Sabrina, those people you met earlier, do you think we can recruit them into our rebellion?"
Sabrina nodded. "They seemed very determined to stop Cooper. In particular the murder of Miss Amy shook them."
Meredith pondered for a second and pinched her eyes. "Very well, let our rebellion be known as 《 the Amy Initiative 》 then, in honor of our fallen ally."
Sabrina smiled. The Amy Initiative. She liked it.
"Let's try to send them a message about our location without Cooper finding out. I will think of some sort of code and send it out within the next few hours."
