>>47947810Is Lear the ruler of the pokemon world or the majority of it? The government of the setting is never really addressed and Lear not only has enough financial pull to build a whole continent for himself but even make it in what should be international waters. This ain't no ordinary king of some tiny little pokeuropean kingdom.
He even has one of the most powerful legendary pokemon at his beck and call which can take him anywhere in the world and even kidnap anyone from any country he wishes without any consequences.
