>>55759759so to recap:
>The Pokemon League is newly formed>They want to be associated to the legendary trainer Samuel Oak but Oak is retired from battling (Agatha in particular feels betrayed that he gave up battling to make the pokedex)>Blue is the first champion but there can only be one champion, hence why you battle him>When Silver becomes champion he doesn't need to fight Red because nobody even knows how to contact Red. Red also might have failed to renew his title or Champion of Johto might be a different title than Champion of Kanto>Ethan/Gold beats Silver getting the title of Indigo League Champion publicly then beats Red in private in Mt. SilverThe only thing I'm confused on is if the Indigo League still recognizes Red alongside Ethan (perhaps allowed since they live in two different regions) or if Red lost his title from inactivity
