>>49067573>my hcE4 are exceptionally strong Trainers employed by their respective League. In contrast with Champions who acquire their position by winning and defending a title, E4 are selected by a panel of League officials based on merit factors such as an excellent record over a sustained period of time.
E4 members serve a variety of functions, including:
1. Facing trainers who wish to challenge the Champion to ensure that only the best are eligible to challenge for the title
2. Acting as public ambassadors for the League
3. Representing the region in international competitions
4. Using their battle skills to serve the people of the region, fight crimes if necessary etc.
E4 positions are highly coveted as they receive high salaries and have access to League resources, meaning they don't have to worry about financing their training solely with their prize winnings. This means they have the freedom to dedicate most of their time to important competitions rather than prizefighting regularly or running a Gym to make ends meet.
