>Venetian looking motherfuckers running around the region, beating the shit out of everyone, stealing their Pokemon, breaking organizations down, shit like that
>Champion is actually combating them, unlike previous champs who just sat around until you beat the villains, he even teams up with you multiple times throughout the game
>The truth is the leader of the villains is actually the champion, using the organization to commit crimes, while also getting public favor without anyone knowing of his sins
>He was just like you too, became champ when he was around your age, only to realize that being champion is the most boring shit since nobody was ever strong enough to challenge him and win, for over 40 fucking years
>Everyone who fights him gets beaten and usually gets forced into joining his group
>The entire reason you got so far is because he sees potential in you and wants you to be his heir
>He sees legendaries as false gods, and actively views that any Pokemon can be "legendary" if enough people worship them, to the point where he manages to use tactics that make some mid tier mons absolutely powerful
